OK so here is a complete newbie question. When a campsite says that their sites are for <30' RV's, does that take into account the tow vehicle as well? I am not sure if I need to go with the larger sites as my TT is 30' long but that does not include my truck.

The length limits posted for a campground could come from a number of reasons and possibly no reason at all.It could be the length of the parking spur, turning radius of a curve in the loop road through the campground, a short deep dip or bump, Or it could be from 30 years ago and no one bothered to update the number after the campground was remodeled to modern specs.

I have a 34' 5th wheel...........I always get a 34' or longer site.It's about the trailer length not the combo truck/trailer.Have found that odd one on occasion which was just long enough and had to park truck sideways but usually room for truck

generally it is the total length of the trailer and it includes space for 1 vehicle to parkI suggest you visit rv park reviews and look up the site you like

Size is a guide. A 30' pad length can accommodate much longer if the back past the wheels hangs out past the pad end. There is always room to park the TV sort of beside or across the front.
