Hello allJust bought a 2018 Thor Hurricane 35M (class A). We have camped for years with a 30' travel trailer. We will be pulling a trailer with a car inside it. The MH is 37' long and the trailer 20' long for a total of 57'. When I make a reservation should I put 37' (length of MH), or 57' for the total length, including towed trailer??I am assuming 37' as I always asked for 30' with my travel trailer and never included my tow vehicle.....probably a silly question. Just want to be certain before booking my first ever MH site.Thanks

Both. Depends if back in is ok as you may unhitch or you want pull through. Provide all the info.

Agreed. It all depends on if, when you make reservations, you don't have any issues with disconnecting or not. Some don't want to. I've got the system down so much that, if all they have is a back in, and there's still some room for our toad, we'll have that thing disconnected in less than a minute. A pull-through is nice if, it's long enough. Heck, even then we'll still more than likely disconnect, just go look for some dinner maybe. So, if you'd like not to disconnect, better tell them you need 60'. Scott

Add in the bumpers, the hitch, the ramp to the trailer and the vehicle in the trailer, you will need a site nearly 100 feet long for everything to fit in it. The logistics of an RV towing a car hauler trailer are much more complicated than a motorhome and a towed either 4 down or on a dolly. If someone were to show up with an unannounced car hauler we would often have no choice but to turn them away.

Not to change the subject but are you sure you're not towing too much weight? Specs show your trailer has a tow hitch capacity of 8,000 pounds but the difference between your motorhome's GVWR and its GCWR is only 4,000 pounds.

You should simply ask, when making the reservation.
