All those SPs that say they have a 30' limit usually have some spots that a 34 can be shoehorned into. It is not always the length of the pad that determines if the rig can be shoved in there. There are the other hazards like trees & the branches that have to be worked around.

Very important in getting a large 5er in a tight spot is a competent spotter & a driver who takes directions with a cool head.

A well laid out 34 model# has more than enough room for extended trips, even fulltiming.

X2 For some reason I have it in my head a 34 ft 5er is the ideal size. We have been looking around and that seems to be the size that appeals to us the most. But keeping the DW happy is important. Good luck, John

LOL isn't that the truth!

Gsport...where do u usually travel to and do u have problems with the length...thx..bo

Good choice on picking a Grand Design RV. I've got a 369RL. Have had it for almost two years now, a little intimidating at first but so much worth having all the extra space..
Remember, happy wife, happy life..

On either one, to not except ST tires. Demand GY G614's. Chris

Okay I will be the guy to jump in and say that an extra 5 feet can be a pain depending on where you camp. We have a 34' 5er bunkhouse and just bought another 34' 5er rear living room. We cant go over that length due to a short driveway. In addition several local campgrounds are a tight fit already. If we were full timing and knew there were good pull-thru sites everywhere we went then 40 foot rigs are plentiful and we LOVE them! Just consider if a 39' rig will fit where you want to camp...and if it will then the extra towing length will be easily overcome with some practice as mentioned by others. The most important thing is does the floorplan work for your lifestyle, and if so then will it fit where you camp. After that I think the decision is made for you.

good luck with whatever you chose.

Sunny...r big boy pants a grand design option?!...well said. ..thx...bo

Easy decision....get the solitude, let the DW do the driving/backing, and you can be the spotter!

Actually, you likely wouldn't notice much difference between the two FWs. I will say that either will be different than the TT for sure.
