We went from a 23ft TT to a 38ft 5th wheel... only good stuff, no regrets.
I'm sure when you first began towing the 32ft you were nervous, same will happen with the 35ft but you will soon realize there's not that much difference.
If a campground can't accomodate our 38 footer, there are usually other campgrounds in the area that will.
Gas stations, I usually choose a station that has wide open lanes or truck stop type. 9 times out of 10, I fill up before hitching up and then we rarely drive more than a tank full (about 300 miles) in distance each day. One station in a small town our 5th wheel was hanging out into the road while I was filling up the truck. The station owner said it happens all of the time...no problem. The folks driving by even waved & smiled at me as they went around the 5th wheel.
