X2 on what Dennis said although we are only half timers... he is FT. We are only 42' and usually stay in USFS CGs that do not take reservations. My favorite USFS CG in the Tetons says 28' max and that is probably true of all but two of the sites. One of those anyone could get into, but the other takes some skill. By arriving late Sunday or early Monday most of the . weekenders have gone home vastly increasing your chances of finding a site big enough. I cannot remember in the last 5-6 years not getting into my first choice CG. Granted with google maps/earth you can take a pretty good look before you get there.
13 years ago because of post on here on this subject I bought a used 36' DP. Did not take long to realize 36' MAX was BS so traded for a 40' single slide. Once we became half timers bought current rig with four slides. I always post about this subject: Buy more RV than you think you need... ONE TIME and not like me.
OP, are you thinking of coming over to the dark side from the trailer side? I do not know of any accurate resources other than google maps. That said, I usually use www.UScampgrounds.info to find sites as it gives you elevation and lets you zoom in to see.
PS: I've owned this rig 11 years so three RVs in less than three years is expensive. I also built my MH bay large enough to hold a 45' although I plan on keeping this rig another 11+ years.
