Lyle, I'm finding the length and high-end to be elusive as well. My concern re going to a larger size has to do with state and national parks. I'm reading that access becomes significantly more limited over 30 feet. If it weren't for that, I'd be open to a longer FW.
Have any of you found that 30+ feet limits your access to parks?
Personally, I've never stayed in a NPS CG, only 2 state CGs here in AZ and a couple private CGs. Most of my camping is boondocking. That being said, a lot of people report having issues with older NPS CGs; site size, road size and overhanging trees are all major issues. Newer CGs don't seem to have these problems, but are much harder to get in to.
There are also =roads= that have length limits. One in AZ that comes immediately to mind is the Mt. Lemmon road. 30' for trailers, IIRC. Also, the campgrounds there are limited to only 22'!
