Everyone's comfort level is different, of course. Remember, though, if you get the front of a 45' diesel pusher thru a toll booth, the rest of the unit will follow. You have to drive conservatively and carefully until you get used to your rig. If you pass someone remember how much rig you have behind you before you pull back into the lane. Rear swing from large overhangs can be a concern. I have the most difficulty at gas stations whether with a class A pulling a toad, or with the FW, so I always try to have an exit plan set up ahead of time. Havin towed a variety of stuff for many years, I still got hung up at the gas station last week towing my 21' boat (got too close to the end of the fuel aisle and had to back up.) I felt a bit silly and just knew everyone was watching me.
