We downsized from 38' to 34' for this reason. Even now I'd like to get a truck camper or small travel trailer to open up more availability to us for quick weekend trips here locally in Colorado. At least with a small trailer, it's easier to turn around if you get stuck somewhere LOL!
But the length is not always the issue. Our height also comes into play. We might be able to fit into a site length wise, but low power lines and trees can pose an issue.
But, if your reason for having 42' is because you are also living in it, you can still find plenty of places to go. You may just be more limited to privately owned RV parks vs government owned parks or boondocking. Boondocking seems like a great idea, but unless you really know where you're going, ending up where you need to turn around somewhere with a big trailer is NOT fun.
