Too big to travel? (45' X 101")
New poster here! Looking for your advice before I purchase a new Motorhome. I'd like a 45' long class A that's 101" wide, but I see there are many States here in the US that you can't drive something ...

Everybody has their preference on what size coach they like. Personally I like to do more with less. Having 3 RV's, A bounder, a Toyota Class C, and a KZ, truly the Toyota Class C is the most simplistic and easy to get around in coach ever.
There is not a whole lot of elbow room, but I can park it in 1 standard parking place. It makes driving it around a snap. Everything is there that we need, we just sometimes feel a tat more cramped.
The bounder though is nice on those longer voyages. Easier to kick back, throw the feet out there and take it easy. But it requires a lot, and more white knuckles on mountains.
The KZ is simple too, but still unfortunately takes the tow hitch and WD hitch.
So the top of my list is the Toyota class C. Seriously, sometimes we just jump in it with the children, run to Costco, and go hang out at a state park without even camping. We can also easily bring it around town to soccer games and there is always the bathroom, A/C, eats, drinks, etc... Right from the soccer field parking lot.
The OP obviously wants a extremely large coach, I say great!
That kind of room comes at a price though. Besides the gas usage it would be the handling, manuvering, and parking. I'll zip right past him through a parking lot and do 3 circles around him - quick and nimble.... But then we get to camp..... And he looks over out his window while reclining watching us poor folks walking sideways out of our Toyota... :)
Every coach comes with a price, pros, and cons.
But yeah, NEVER have seen a cop with a ruler out checking coach width.
