We are just <36' pin to bumper, 55' LOA on the road. There are plenty state & NPs where the extra 3' would make the difference between doable & not. Often we are backed in, wheels up to the end of the site pad & the back hanging off into space, way too high to the ground to use the stabilizers. A bit of jiggle & shake does not bother us so we can use these sites that we would otherwise be too big for.
If you are one who wants to make the trailer as stable as a house, you will be severely limited in SPs & NPs with your 39'. Then there are the parks which do have a few sites suitable for long rigs but all too often a class B or a C has taken them, especially in a 'pick your own site' park.
It is a case of bigger is not necessarily better. There is a tipping point where cg options greatly diminish.
