I have a 39' 5er. I'm getting a 44' TH. With the TH, I can't fit in either CG at Canyon de Chelly. Yes, 5' does make a difference.
Too bad, heard that Canyon de Chelly is nice. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with the post at hand here. Besides, if you stayed at that location previously with your 39 foot fiver, then you caused your own exodus getting a rig 40 feet plus in length.
Most campgrounds are built to handle rigs in the 35 foot length, so adding 2.5 feet to each end of the 33 foot rig is NOT going to make any differences.
That said, yes, gas stations can be a pain. One has to be a little more selective in where you go. But, to the OP here, if you managed fine at gas stations with your 33 footer, well again, that extra is not going to be a deal breaker. Just be aware of your surroundings, perhaps noting the tail may swing just a tad wider on your turns, and you'll do fine.
This whole thread almost seems much ado about nothing. Those few extra feet, considering one is already experienced with a fifth wheel, is not going to be any type of major problem.
Mind you, if the OP is gonna try a space shuttle special and tow the new, bigger fiver with a Toyota Tundra, then maybe there is a problem.
