Length Restrictions

I know this is old hat -- sorry.

I'm considering the purchase of either a 36 footer (actually, it's 36' 7") vs. a 39 footer. Is there really any practical difference in terms of being able to get into some parks? I've seen restrictions at 35 feet, but not really anything that would differentiate a 36 and a 39.

Comments?

Not much difference in practice and none that I know of as far as actual "restrictions".

You may sometimes find it harder to level a 39 footer if the site is barely long enough, since sites may rise or dip a bit at the ends even though the central portion is fairly level. And if you like campgrounds with lots of trees and/or twisty roads, you may find the additional wheel base a slight inconvenience.

None of the above applies if you frequent upscale parks with broad roads and wide open sites.

Actually, I have to avoid the parks with a lot of trees and narrow winding roads, because of the Motosat Datastorm satellite dish. Trees, whereas I used to like them, are now my enemy!
