You might run into problems with older parks but they are getting fewer each year. What you have to consider isn't the length of the camp site but the access roads within the camp grounds. The longer the wheel base the wider the vehicle turning radius will be. Trees, boulders, site number poles, drainage culverts and such can be a problem navigating thru a camp ground. Narrow access roads and obstructions can make backing into a site difficult. Just plan your stops and camp ground selection with this in mind. When researching a site use the various satellite, bird's eye or street views that are available.
Don't make the assumption that even reserving a pull thru site you'll be OK. Walk the site planning your arrival and departure. Watched an owner of a 40' coach get winched out of a drainage ditch after attempting to depart from a pull. The exit turn and narrow access road was enough that the hard turn drove the rear axle into a drainage ditch. Maybe the temporary tags on the coach had something to do with it.
Good luck and smart plan to start out early with the coach before retiring, selling off the homestead and hitting the road. Baby steps can be a good thing. And to answer the original question, 2 foot won't make much of a difference.
