Stupid Question Time

Again, I appreciate all the input. It appears, however, all larger homes are the same height and width, length and wheel base being the big differences. Turn radius, obviously, is the possible problem. After looking at numerous camp sites many limit the size to 32-35 ft. homes. I'd guess this is a difficult question to answer, but as wa8yxm wrote, he squeezes a bigger rig into a smaller spot. Are these lengths strictly enforced? One other thing I must admit to, I've never driven a "big rig" as one of you had written. I flew Boeing 777 airplanes with 200 foot wing spans weighing up to 648,000 lbs. Energy management and avoiding other obstacles was no easy task. It taught me a lot......no I never hit another airplane.
Thanks again!

But I bet you didn't get that 777 into very many remote spots (at least not on purpose). The theory is the same. People who buy 45' motorhomes are generally speaking, not people looking for remote back country places to camp. People looking for remote camping are generally buying cab-over campers and putting them on 4x4 trucks. But even with that type of set up you can still be very limited with where you are going to go simply because a 4x4 truck with a cabover camper won't fit in a lot of places.

When you start getting into the over 40' motorhomes you really start limiting places you can go. For example, most State parks in California have length limits and even parks that can accommodate a 45' motorhome may only have a few spaces big enough. I have a 35' Class A DP and I do quite a bit of boon docking in it, very rarely am I too far off the paved road. If you really want to see the remote Country, the best thing to do is get a Jeep Wrangler as a toad and then camp where everybody else does and use the Jeep to get back into the woods. Or even better is get a UTV or Quads because they can go places even Jeep Wranglers can't get to.
