2019 early summer, we're looking to do a month long cross country trip in our 43' 5er.
Given the length of the rig, I'm assuming I'll run into a lot of campsite limitations.
Is there an easy way to map this trip, or will it come down to picking our desired locations and then doing a map search in the area for campgrounds that have available sites for a rig this long?
I assume if we want to see some of the more popular tourist sites, we should be reserving as far in advance as possible.
So many possible ways to slice and dice a trip like this, it's a bit intimidating...
Thanks.

You will have problems with a 43 foot 5th wheel. It is part of the deal. We have a 37 foot 5th wheel, and have problems. You have to be extra carful.
Stay away from state parks or county parks.
Stay on the interstate and you should have no problems. When making reservations, make it clear the length of you rig.
Sometimes you might have a problem just driving through a campground. As the campground people if there are any sharp turns, or low branches, or low wires.
Find out what the road is like to the campground. Is it narrow, hilly, or really out of the way.
We would never get a 43 foot 5th wheel. Just too long.
You have to watch out for the swing of the back of the trailer when you make a turn. We have takien out an electrical box on the right when making a left turn.
