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.
Is there a big difference in driving/backing such a big rig than say... the 41 footer? Or, are we going to regret driving around such a giant house?

Currently in YELLOWSTONE N.P. and my 35' Super "C" looks like a giant amoung all the travel trailers and Cruise America "C's". I did have a chore parking a Super "C" at Fishing Bridge RV park in the N.P.

My coach is 38 feet long. Another seven feet wouldn't bother me at all.

My class A is easier to park than any trailer I ever had.

I'd say go for it.

All class A motorhomes are fairly easy to drive. You may run into a problem with some states only allowing 40' homes. Extra slides can make a big space difference. I have a 43' Allegro bus with 4 slides and have had problems finding spots long and wide enough.
