5'er Length Where You Have Issues Finding Campgrounds/Sites

We are in the process of selecting a fifth wheel RV. This would be our first RV of any type. We are considering true lengths of 31' to 40' (Keystone Cougar or Grand Design Reflection). I'm wondering at what length, if any, I might start having issues finding campgrounds/sites. That is, would I be somewhat or significantly restricted with the 40'?

FYI, upon purchase we plan to do cross-country travel for the first six months, then two to three months regionally each year after that.

  • I would imagine so.

    I first want a larger RV and about to upgrade my truck for a bigger tow vehicle. Then I decided to go entry level first to try it out with a 21'.

    Now I found out I should be glad I did. Even this short-length trailer is a challenge to find a spot and a reservation in my favorite national park campgrounds.
  • My toy hauler is 40' and we haven't had any issues finding a campsite.
