My questions are
1. How hard will it be to find camping sites in or near National parks with this 42 ft camper?
2. At what point do you say I need a DRW not a SRW truck?
3. What difficulties will I have with this size fifth-wheel that I would not have with a 35 fter?
In calif. State Parks have a max length of 30 feet. At 42" you can reasonable assume you will eliminate
State Parks and forrest services parks. At 42" I would want a Diesel 3500 or 1 ton truck DRW with a good Exhaust Brake. As others have suggested, I would do my research on each RV Park as to what the length of their sites and plan on making reservations well in advance of your scheduled trips. Personally I have found my 34' 5th wheel meeting all my needs for the 2 of us.
