Hi All,We are looking to move up to a Toy Hauler, mostly because I really want to have my own golf cart at Disney. (I know, not the best reason, lol.)It seems that the Toy Haulers hover around 40 Feet in size. My husband wanted to know if that would preclude us from our favorite camping sites. We love state parks, but here in Georgia you can't book a specific site, so, yeah. We like the Corps of Engineer parks, and there ARE sites that can accommodate 40 feet in our favorite spots.What do you all do who have big fivers? Where do you camp? Have you had problems just with maneuvering in campgrounds or simply maneuvering in general? Do any of you regret moving up to a 40 foot (or more) rig?Any insight is helpful!Thanks :)

You stated, "My husband wanted to know if that would preclude us from our favorite camping sites". Are those favorite camping sites big enough for a new 40'er?Most of the best sites that I would enjoy are always smaller than my rig size - not often larger.

Sorry, but I would rent the golf cart at Disney-if that is 'mostly' the reason to get a 40 ft. trailer.

I just really want my own, unique cart. Nothing new or fancy, but mine. We could also use the cart at some other RV resorts.We'd also use the garage as a room for my teenage kids, and their friends. So not a total waste to get a toy hauler.

I used my Disney golf cart as a reason to buy a dually :). And am I glad I did! OP.. My cart rides in the truck bed and my trailer is a TT just for this reason.

You would have to call your favorite camping sites to find out about accommodations for longer 5er's, or if they're your favorite camping sites, you should already know if their sites are big enough to accept a 40' plus 5er...IF you go with the 40' plus 5er, you may also have to re-think your tow vehicle, more goes into the equation when you talk longer, heavier 5er and loading with a golf cart plus everything else you'll take with you.
