filrupmark,
In a very high percentage of states the length is a huge factor in state parks, national parks, county parks, and yes many private parks also. Even more so than RV vertical clearance. Drastically limits the number of CG sites a long RV can even fit in or be allowed to occupy as the will stick out in the CG road or not give enough room left to park the tow vehicle. Usually limits most long 35'+ RV's/trailers to the expensive and very expensive RV parks and/or resorts. Seen it so often in our half century of RV'ing and it's pervasive especially in regions where there's a lot of real tree growth. Texas and the Southwest U.S. is certainly not known for a lot of tall trees or are a few other specific localities! Short trees usually have branches starting much closer to the ground than the tall tree areas of the country.
