I've stated many times on these forums that we full-timed for ten years with our 40' motorhome towing a Jeep. Public parks were always our first choice. We rarely made reservations. You're planning on a 42' so that will cut down on available spaces.
We have stayed in Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Glacier and other national parks. We've stayed in numerous state parks and forest service campgrounds along with county and city parks and boondocking using gravel roads to get there. We had never been turned away once we got to the places. Of course, we did a lot of research beforehand.
I will say that the majority of our travels were west of the Mississippi although in the SE we've used COE parks and state parks.
You mentioned you have a car hauler. With that, you will not fit in the sites we've used. Many times we had to angle our Jeep in front of the MH to fit into the site. You can't do that with the car hauler.
Now with a 42' and a car hauler, you will still find places to accommodate you but not within many public parks. So don't stay away from what you want. You'll do just fine.
