I like the concept of these layouts, but the length of these FW's limits where I can take them in my area due to the number of trees creating obstacles and length of many campsites - This would restrict me to the biggest sites at open field style campgrounds. Boondocking would be fine in the prairies or desert but would be a challenge in the forest.
My family has discussed this more than once when looking at RV's. For us, anything over 50' overall length with tow vehicle or any individual section of a combination longer than 30' cuts out about 50% of the places we like to regularly visit. If we lived in an area with more wide open spaces, something like this would definitely be on our short list.
If I need more space in the future, I will be looking at taller stacker trailers rather than going longer. I have even toyed with configuring a stacker gooseneck with living quarters and slides (garage, kitchen and bath bellow the bed and living rooms). This may be a less popular option, but I commute daily on double-decked buses and am amazed at the capacity you gain going taller.
