I appreciate that input. With my current rig I pretty much didn't have to worry other than some city streets.

As for the size of the 5th wheel we end up with, that's going to be tough. For getting around I would prefer under 35 foot, maybe even down to 30ish. Seems anything out there that's of any sort of quality is getting close to 40 foot in length. I guess they don't think folks buying a shorter rig deserve something a little shorter.
