Fifth wheel length

When we began our search for a new fifth wheel, we kept our shopping to lengths of 35' or under for the very reasons you list. We have stayed in state parks, national forest campgrounds and COE(Corps of Engineer) campgrounds in 25 states in our 35' rig and have only ran into problems finding a site large enough a couple of times. Usually it's not the site length or width that's a problem, even the oldest campgrounds will usually have at least one you can fit in (if you reserve it early enough) the problem is being able to get into those sites! Many campgrounds have very narrow roads with sharp turns or trees so close to the sides of the road that it becomes a challenge to navigate a longer rig through those campgrounds. There have been many times that if we'd been a foot or two longer, we would have never been able back into sites that were plenty long enough. So, you not only need a long enough site but you definitely need enough room to maneuver into those sites!
