Is 45 feet too long?
In our constant search for a new rig... the one we like the best so far is of course - 45 feet - tag. Right now we have a 36 foot 5er. Our other choice is a 41 footer, but it's not the same quality. ...

The key I believe was already mentioned. Turning radius. I am totally amazed at how my CC will out turn coaches several feet shorter. Next comes familiarity with that turning radius and how to use your mirrors to back up.
Just remember, the back end hangs over the rear tag quite a ways, so you have to account for it.
Now lets talk ride! You cannot beat a 45 foot with tag for ride comfort. I have driven the same model, 40 foot and 43 foot back to back (Allegro Bus) and the tag on the 43 foot made quite a difference. Next I drove my present CC 45 foot and boy o boy what a difference. It's like a Rolls Royce verses a Cadillac versus a Chevrolet!
