Thank you to all of the replies. I didn' think about having an accident and being over length., I did think of it when it comes to weight (that's why we're going to a 1 ton dually). We are currently looking at 42' fifth wheels. We would like a shorter one but we cannot find a bunkhouse we like any shorter. By the way, I found the state lengths in the 2017 Good Sam Travel and Saving Guide book. It also has each states overall lengths in it.
Like you we were looking at bunkhouses. And like you we've found that the BH models are generally pretty long. Then we looked at Toy Haulers. The garage usually has a sofa that can be converted into a bed and there's another bed that drops down from the ceiling. So you should be able to get 2 - 4 kids back there depending if they share beds.
The Grand Design Momentum 328m, for example is about 37 feet long. Maybe something like this would work for you if you're concerned about length?
