National Park- Motorhome legnth?

I was always told you should keep your RV to under a 30ft legnth. Why is that? I just bought a class A that is 31' 10". So what can't I do now?
  • IMHO, "The longer the RV, the fewer campsites available". Can't get much more specific until you look at where you want to go. The general rule of needing to be below 30' in length to get into some national parks is just that, general. And too general to be of any real help.
  • I suggest you check the campground website, usually has the limits posted.

    our previous MH was 35'11" and we had no problem in all of the state parks and many national parks. I wouldn't worry.
  • Oh yeah, we're 31' 6" Class C and usually consider that Close Enough to 30.
  • Site sizes mostly, perceived convenience for others (the idea that someone in a tent doesn't want a 40' Luxo Class A) next door, and sometimes because the access roads are tight.

    My take on it.
  • Some parks may not have sites that big, though to be honest, at 31' you probably won't run into that problem much.
