Yes, size matters. It cannot help but matter. 43', more like 45'LOA is huge. It will be fine if it is going somewhere for the season & staying put then migrating somewhere else to sit for months but as a traveling 5er, moving every few days, it will be a major pain.

All the comforts of home can be found without going over 36'LOA.
