Campsite Length Restrictions for MH
DW and I are planning to go full time in 2-4 years when we retire. We've been told to buy our new MH 1-2 years out so we can work out all the bugs before hitting the road. So are trying to do our d...

Once again, and I've stated this often, you most definitely can fit into national parks, national forests, state parks, Corp of Engineer, county and city parks. We've done it all during our 16 years of full-timing with our 40' motorhome. I think those that say "no" haven't tried.
By my count, there are about 1700 state campgrounds with over 175,000 camp sites, and 1500 Federal campgrounds with over 80,000 camp sites. Plus there are all those county and city campgrounds.
While I'm sure you visited many campground sites during your 16 years full timing, I'm confident you haven't been to all (or even most) of them.
So suggesting that folks just try fitting into a site doesn't strike me as the best idea.
I'd suggest RVers at least call the park and ask someone who works at the campground.
If you read my post again I stated that "you will not fit in all of them" and that "you need to do your research".
I never said we've been to all of them nor have I said that folks should just try fitting into the sites. The people that say "you won't fit" usually don't even have a big rig. Those that do have a big rig typically don't even try if they make statements that "you won't fit". There are many with big rigs that do fit.
The worst thing you should do is to rely on calling the park and getting a correct answer regarding a true 'big rig'. They don't know the size of each campsite. They don't even know what a 'big rig' is. Definitely don't ask a reservation service like Reserve America. They're not even in the state much less the campground. There are other ways to do research.
