How much will a big fifth wheel limit us?
I don't currently have an RV but have borrowed my in-laws Class A before...so though I am not in the owners club I am not a total newbie either. My wife and I are around 40 and are self employed. ...

What got my attention is when you said you wanted to be out in the boonies a lot in Nat'l Forests, etc. My opinion is that you should limit your trailer length; possibly to 30 ft preferably less and even that can be too long for some campgrounds with sharp curves and short sites. You can get along with much larger but with a lot more planning and making sure you know what you will be getting into in a campground before you head down a gravel road to a remote campground.
This is what I am worried about. Here in N. Idaho a lot of our wooded areas are SUPER accessible, at least in my opinion. Don't get me wrong there are lots of places I would never try taking any, but there are lots of good roads back into the woods, and lots of areas that not only could I get a big rig, but that I can get a strong cell signal (using a booster). I think I would be limited by width and height around here more then length.
So I am a little spoiled by that. It's hard for me to remember that not everywhere is that accessible. So thanks for that reminder.
Can't really get a toyhauler that we will be happy FTing in under 30ft, but I think I might take another look at some of the shorter units and see what else I should share with the DW.
