nataliadonnelly Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 New to RVing and interested in a 27 foot class C. Initially wanted to go with a smaller footprint but am willing to go up in size to get the amenities we want. How much more difficult is it to find spots for an RV of this size? Ease of use versus a smaller 24ish foot B+? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 How many people over how long a time are we considering? Also, how big are those people? 2 years olds don't take as much space as 14 year olds do. Except 2 year olds require car seats which is another factor.

If you mean campsites then it would be difficult to find an RV park or campground that has very many sitess that are too small for a rig of 27' or even 30' lenght. There are a few parks that still have some sites too small for those but very few. I would suspect that at least 95% of the RV sites available in the US are amply large for a 27' class C. On the other hand, if by spots you mean parking places to put the RV when driving it to tourist attractions and such, that is more difficult. Even the 24' long B would have some problems but in either case it could be managed most of the time. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

If we could back into a space where the rear could overhang a curb we fit in one space. Otherwise we had to find two spaces front to back and take part of each of them. We did that on the street in both Chicago and Miami by finding two meters between an alley and a bus stop in downtown Chicago and one spot in front of a loading area in Miami where a meter maid assured us we would be fine there. All big box stores offer such spaces if you are willing to walk from the back of the lot. We sometimes got into a campground because only the short spots were left--we even did that in a 35' motorhome because the 40' ones wouldn't fit. I say, go for it.
