Max length for Cracker Barrels?

Is there a standard for the length of RV's that Cracker Barrels can handle? They always came in handy with our last trailer, but I seem to remember that the spots seemed undersized for longer set-ups. With our new set-up we are 53' when hooked up. Are their spots long enough to handle that, or should we just forego the Cracker Barrel stops and look for other options?
  • "If you are planning on going during lunch or dinner hours, about 6-8 feet is max, because all the 30' RV spots will have 10'or less 4-wheelers in them. Other times, we have had no problem with our 30' MH and toad. We have also spent several nights at Cracker Barrels but we always try to find an out-or-the -way place, and not block traffic getting in or out. The managers always appreciate it if you ask."

    4 wheelers in the rv spots?????????????/ Say it aint so !!!!!!!!!!!!
  • From eyeballing and guessing, they seem to be 40' spots give or take a few feet.

    That's a hellofa good idea. Thanks!
  • We find that even the ones that are listed in their directory as RV friendly were not designed for vehicles and tow. We are only 30ft with another 20-25 with tow. 55 ft total. That being said we have stayed at a lot of CB's, just not where they had the lines on the pavement. Also often at busy times there will be nonRVers parked in those spaces.

  • Different sizes depending on location. They get deliveries via semi trucks. Just go slow entering and plan your route through the vehicles, islands and trees.
