    Based on what? I have 40' and want for 45' so add that to the mix. Also, welcome to the forum.

    Bit of a loaded question and the answer depends mainly on what you want out of a coach and how you will use it. The bigger the coach, the more money, more fuel etc. But also the more space you will have. Driving is a concern. Would you feel comfortable driving a 40’ coach? You will have restrictions on where you can camp and sometimes even travel. Also, check your local laws, I know in MD anything over 40’ requires the equivalent of a CDL. Not sure about your neck of the woods.
  • What types of CG's do you prefer?

  • Many of the older state and private parks/campgrounds have length limitations... but those are generally in the 32'-35' range.
