Well, once again, I have to disagree on 40' being too big. We've been in our 40' motorhome (& they don't bend like a 5th wheel) for 10 years. We traveled constantly as full-timers. Our first choice is always a public park - national park, national forest, state parks, Corp of Engineers, county and city parks, along with boondocking. We honestly do not have problems fitting into these kinds of parks. I could make a huge list of places we've stayed. Granted, you have to do your homework but for every given area there will be a park you can stay and we've stayed in some beauties - quite often the best site in the house. Also, we don't make reservations. We get in early in the week and there are plenty of spots.
A small list of national parks we've been in multiple times are Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier, Zion, Rocky Mountain. We've been in many state parks along the Oregon and Washington coasts and basically throughout the country. We've stayed inside Denali National Park, Alaska and stayed in public parks in Canada and the Yukon, along with Alaska. The list is extensive for forest service campgrounds in the west. When we go east of the Mississippi we stay in COE and state parks. We love the west and the outdoors so that's where you'd find us. It depends on where you want to stay and then check out parks or areas that you're interested in staying.
I also notice that those giving answers above don't even have a 40' so why are they saying "no you can't"?
One thing about Alaska is it is very RV friendly. You will find numerous Pull-offs, where you can stop and even spend the Night if you want.
