My trailer and truck combination with my cargo carrier on my trailer is just shy of 60 feet total length. I've had no problems camping with my 35 1/2 foot long TT in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia or Virginia - Private camp grounds or State-County-City campgrounds. We just choose our camp sites carefully ahead of time. If going somewhere new and the internet does not give enough information, we call the camp ground, given them our size and EVERY single time we've been accommodated and could park somewhere in the campground. And sometimes, (on a couple occasions), the "alternative" site turned out to be much nicer than the normal sites, more secluded, private, out of the way.
Always be prepared with lots of water hose and lots of power cord for you camper. I carry 200 feet of water hose and 150 feet of electric cord (30 amp) for the camper for just these occasions. But, I've never been turned away because I was too long... anywhere.
I suggest you keep your current camper and go have fun! Part of the "Adventure" is all about discovering the new sites. And it keeps your driving, parking, backing, towing skills very much alert and alive! You'll increase your skills, abilities towing, and your confidence. Eventually, you say.... "Why was I so worried. I can go and experience just about anything now!"
