Hi,

I am a newbie at RV'ing, have a 19' hybrid travel trailer and heading to Yellowstone in fall of 2018. Never been to Yellowstone and not finding a lot of help from our local RV sales shops in the area. I have a few questions for anyone that has been there with a similar type RV. Appreciate your help!!

1. Is Xanterra super strict on size? I have a 19' TT and a 19' F150. If I add the TT tongue and hitch on truck, likely to be almost 1' foot over the max 40' site size. Can I take hitch off and pull as close to tongue as possible?

should not be a problem, but make reservations RIGHT NOW

2. Do people really use Generators to charge their batteries? If yes, is there a loud 'hum' throughout the campground? Also, do people steal generators while owners are out enjoying the sites?

Yes but there are 'generator hours, often 8 AM to 8 PM

3. In general, is it just better to stay outside of the park with an RV?

No, its a long long slow drive in and out of the park. Plan on 60-90 minutes each way, maybe more depending on where you go. People drive at 20-30 mph and stop every time someone sees a chipmunk.

again, thanks for your help in advance!
