Some have done fine with 40 footers in some National Parks, however full timing you want room, I have a 33 foot with 2 slides its roomy and does get around easy BUT I would not like this size full time, 36 foot with 3 slides would be a nice size, not to big but big enough for 2 people full time.
I agree 40 foot is just to big in many areas.
We have never found this to be true. Of course you can't take 40' where you can a smart car.
We stay clear of the down town urban areas and the narrow dirt roads , that is why we have the jeep in tow.
I've never been told we were too big for any camp ground.
Size really depends on the people, those that spend more time in RV watching TV would be better with a 40+ footer, usually those with that size pick out larger campgrounds and such but more active people that want to get deeper into the woods, etc, would want a smaller size and the ease of driving around, I have been in some tight spots even with my 33 foot motorhome were a 40 foot would never go, also when towing your length can be 60 foot.
Going big is not always the answer for everyone and one can make 36 foot with slides work if you just humble yourself, to many Americans just want big and bigger..
