Keep in mind it's not the size of the PAD that's important. Rather, it's the size of the ROADS getting to the site. You don't bend in the middle like a fiver or a bumper pull so those posters with a 40' trailer differ from those with a 40' motorhome. That said, west coast is more forgiving than east coast. We're 45' and found we fit in most State and Federal parks. At least those WE want to stay at. YMMV....Dennis
X2. Also, one piece of advice I got that helped avoid a lot of trouble is to keep an eye on the tree bark as you go into a park. Crunched trees indicate a really narrow access point
X3 - started with a 36' then 38' then 40' (actually 42) and now a 42" (actually 43' 11"), never a problem in the northeast (Canada and US). Of course I do look for "Big Rig Friendly" so no issues. I might have to travel an extra few miles but always find one within my intended driving range.
