So my question is....how much are we going to need to adjust our travel style to accommodate this big old trailer we're pulling now? Trailer is almost 33 feet and we're towing with a full size van, so total length is....a lot.
Just playing the devil's advocate here but knowing you wanted to travel so much with this trailer it would
to me have made more sense to limit the length of the trailer to something more reasonable, somewhere in the 25' to no more than 30' range. Yeah, I know - 4 kids - but there are still shorter rigs out there that can accommodate what you want to do but aren't anywhere near as long, including rear glide models that tow significantly shorter than campsite length. Our own previous KZ Spree 240BH was a triple bunk trailer, measured 26' 9" coupler to bumper, and from personal experience having camped in many US locations with it I wouldn't have wanted anything longer, in fact preferably closer to 25' overall. Private campgrounds like KOAs are one thing but state and national parks can be another matter, where the more you exceed 25' or so the tougher it will be to get a suitable site, especially in situations where you want your freedom and don't want to reserve ahead of time but instead just show up hoping the campground in question has a site large enough to accommodate your trailer AND tow vehicle. And obviously, the shorter your overall length the easier it would be to find a place to park when you stop along the way. Kinda late now I know ... just sayin'. :W
