Any Length Restriction Resources?

We usually Boonedock five days a week and then travel and resupply on the weekends. We will call ahead on Saturday and make a reservation at a private campground so that we can dump and resupply our water and do laundry. With 100 gallons of water we do not cut back on its use and have to run the generator two hours a day to charge the batteries while boondocking. The smaller the unit the smaller the tanks. For FT I'd want at least 5000lbs of CCC.

Thanks for this additional info as well. I've got homework to do on CCC, basement space, Axle ratings, etc.


~100 gallons of water, ~60 gallons grey and ~40 gallons black seems to be pretty standard. Is this close the configuration that's working well for you?

To answer your question, many cgs show a 'limit' of 40'. In fact, if you go to RPI's site you'll see most of their CGs limit of 40'. Very few California State Parks offer sites for 45'. However, IF you call and ask you'll find there are spaces available. We've yet to be denied because of length and we've been to about 90% of their SPs.

Thanks for the clarification. This is helpful. I've also seen the opposite. At Acadia in Maine they said they had spots for our 35 foot TT with opposing slides. We didn't stay there, but we walked the campground and there weren't many sites that looked promising. I'm glad we opted for a site outside the park instead in that case.

So far it's looking like 35' isn't really a magic size and most places that you can go with 35 you can go with 40 or even 45 with some good advanced planning (early reservations, etc.).

A few years ago I compiled data on all the Federal Parks and State Paks.

The results are by state, not park.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. It's a great overview.
