Best class A lengths for national parks?
We have been looking at class A's...our first RV of any sort, and are totally confused!! We love the livability of over 35', but I have heard that the shorter lengths are better. We are really torn!...

Since you are going to be living in it for extended periods of time, I would recommend you rent a couple first.
Best advice yet, especially when OP wants a good sized kitchen so his DW can cook from scratch. We full time in a 40-footer and that would be a stretch in our RV.
Anyway, I surveyed all the state and federal parks about 4 years ago and found that on average about half of state and federal campsites are at least 40 feet in length.

- State Park Data
We camped in WI state parks in our first RV (a 34-footer) and then our 40-foot DP for several years. At times it was a challenge for both RVs depending on the campsite. For example, while you may fit into the site, the road getting to it may be atrocious.
Finally, prime campgrounds fill up fast so plan ahead.
Thanks for getting that info. However, did you not read my post above yours? Their websites are way out of date. I think they were written when we were driving Model T's. Anyway, we've been all over this great country in the past 10 years of full timing and have found very few campgrounds we couldn't fit into. Finding 50amp service is a bigger challenge than length....that is from experience, not from reading stuff on forums.....Dennis
