Destination limits due to coach size

You know what's missing from this conversation? The folks who say they tried to fit into spots but couldn't so they had to leave the park.

I can only guess why we aren't hearing from those folks.

I see plenty of folks with 36, 38, 40 and 42 foot coaches saying they've had no problems and no-one saying they have had problems actually fitting in a spot.

So the question remains unanswered. I haven't read any post here from folks who found out they couldn't fit after they arrived.

That being said, I see length restrictions often online when I research a campground. I even know for a fact that some sites will simply not accommodate larger coaches (Yellowstone fishing bridge being a good example). When I had my 31 footer, I used to watch out for length restrictions carefully and would inevitably arrive at the campground and find coaches way longer than the stated max on the web sites.

Also missing but frequently found in this discussion (it is after all a regular event), are the folks who lie about the size of their rig when making reservations and or checking in. Then there are the folks who just ignore the rules altogether, you know, the "Rules are for other people crowd".

These are the folks with their TV's, Toads or even portions of their coaches encroaching into the access roads or adjacent sites(see it all the time). Often it is not the site size that is the issue but the tight access to reach it. Block even a small amount of that road and how will those emergency vehicles (fire trucks, paramedics etc.), get through at O'dark thirty when your neighbor has a heart attack?

I understand the many benefits of having a larger coach but with the benefits do come some compromise. If the site says 26', 36' or 40' Max and you are larger than that find another site/CG/Park.

As always.... Opinions and YMMV
