Comparing RV's Question
Hi, quick question from a pair of newbies that are in their research stage. Are there places you can't take a class a? Are there more places for fifth wheels & travel trailers? Thanks!

Thank you. Both. From reading a million and one things we got the impression that a class a diesel pusher at a campground might not work because of the weight in the rear and that you could get stuck. We don't have any experience with campgrounds, rv parks etc. So we have nothing to go on as far as conditions being favorable for one type more than the other. So we want to add that to a pro or con list.
Did that make any sense at all??
You have to be careful with any large RV once you pull off of the highway. It isn't only weight of rear. Overall heavy RVs are not like driving a car, for example, off the road. You have to even becareful pulling off onto the shoulder of a highway due to weight. You can get stuck. I saw that yesterday. Tractor trailer pulled off on shoulder of 4 lane highway and buried itself in soft shoulder. Campgrounds, referred to as boondocking can have narrow roads, soft roads, limited height, etc. In addition some campgrounds just can't accommodate longer lengths of RVs. Private RV parks usually are not a problem. Even on some highways you have to be more aware of vehicle height Vs driving a car. Some states require class B drivers license over 26,000 lbs. These are all things you may want to consider depending on where you plan on camping or RVing.
