Coach Length
I have been told to stay 40 ft or less is this a true statement or does it really matter

The only thing I can think of is that many rigs over 40 have tag axles. That is not a problem with manuevering, but one of a special license requirement. I know that California requires a special license for any rig with a tag axle.
Lets try to clarify the Calif requirement. Some roads do not allow over 40.
Over 40 ft and you need a non commercial B license. Tag axels by themselves do not require an upgrade unless I missed something on the B test.
Overall length in calif towing is 65 feet but it seems I have seen some out of state combinations quite a bit longer. May be an allowance if it is allowed in their home state.
Many State Parks cannot handle over 30 ft so 40 does reduce the sites you can use. We are a 40 footer towing in Calif. Fuel stations are a bit more difficult but with some planning and large tank it has not been a problem.
