Again folks thanks for all the comments. You have allowed us to rethink the size of our 5er because a lot of the floor plans we liked were in the 40-43 foot range. We had ruled them out because of their length but i think this has a new perspective. Happy Camping to ALL

Thanks for the opinions thus far. on the handling issue i don,t think that is a problem. We have heard some say "nothing bigger than 36-38 feet with 3 slides" because anything bigger causes to many problems parking at to many parks. We have heard some say the parks get very tight and parking gets scary at times trying to maneuver a 40' rig into place and avoiding "obstacles" (like trees). So we are questioning whether to stay below 40' or just get what we want in a floor plan and storage and hit the road knowing there is plenty of places to stay and park. i am a very confident driver and am not afraid of the lengths at all on the driving part - but we need to park it eventually lol.

We just sold our 33' travel trailer and are looking to buy a Fifth Wheel which we will start full-timing in at the end of this year. We would like something with the roominess of a 40' or longer but we are seeing many people who are full-timing are downsizing to smaller RVs because of the problems and "scary situations" some of the bigger ones encounter. We are looking for any and all comments/opinions anyone may have on this subject. We are currently looking at a Jayco 38' RV which seems like a modest "in-between" length. Again any and all opinions are welcome as we are stuck right now. One more thing if it matters we are pulling with a 1 ton diesel dually. Happy Camping to all.....
