Is a 40' RV too long for much of MX?
I am interested in a 40' RV due to the fact that I have a family of five that will be fulltiming in MX, but I have heard that this could severely limit travel and camping options because it is so long...

No matter what model and size RV you purchase, practize making tight turns in confined spaces so that you are comfortable using both mirrors and being able to complete the turns.
Take a set of walkie talkie radios to comunicate with a partner for guidance, and always look up, there could be a tree branch or a low power cable, and when you park next to the curbs make shure that you are well away from tearing the awning off the RV with a utility pole that is to close to the road, remember that streets have a curve to guide water to the curbs and the rv leans into the sidewalks.
When in doubt, get out and walk or drive to see what lies ahead, if you go to smaller cities like Guanajuato or Tasco, do not go in to town with the rig, take the toad or a Taxi, streets are to narrow and twisty + Guanajuato has narrow tunels on some streets.
If you follow the big rigs and or the passerger buses you are OK, its a diferent matter when you do not see them going down the same street that you are on, also try to hug the center of small streets, trees might not stick out that far. Yust remember that most of the towns where built when no cars where arround, horse and buggies yes, ergo narrow streets and tight turns.
Otherwise have a good time.
