The bigger the rig, the less your choice of locations. We have a 34' Open Range 5th wheel. These rigs have great ground clearance and they will handle a lot of gravel and dirt roads. Always drive or bicycle in before we commit to driving in (and want to make sure we can drive out). We had a 28' TT before and its length and height permitted visiting a lot more places: Our favorite spots in Yucatan near Laguna Bacalar and the Calukmal archaeological site are not accessible with a 34' fifth wheel. If all works this winter, we should make it to Tikal, Guatemala again.
Would not take a 5th wheel any further into Guatemala - could just see us irretrievably jammed between the village fountain and the village church
But there are a lot of "dispersed camping" sites available in the west which are accessible to our moderately large rig. I think a 40'er would be really limited.
