MFL is correct. Also, I have determined, particularly in FL, that the length of a particular space is longer than posted on the reserveamerica.com site. I suspect the same for their listings in other states. I have to admit to fudging (lying) about the length of my unit when making reservations. Only one time have I had to approach a space from the other direction to be able to turn into the space from the road, and the reason was a tree at the front corner of the space. I have also observed folks with small trailers having more difficulty getting into a space than some with large FWs, so experience has a lot to do with success.
