Even though I have what may be termed a "shorter" 5th, between the trailer and the truck, I always look for sites that are greater than 50', which usually give me just enough room to drop the 29' fifth, and then still back my truck all the way in when unhitched. Even that is kind of tight.
As noted, another issue is the width of the access road, and what is directly across from the entrance to the site. Not a lot of fun backing into a high angle site, with a solid row of trees on the other side of the single lane track they call an access road! If reserving, I always try to find a site that has another sites entrance directly across from it, to give me a little more room to maneuver. Of course, you rarely know what rocks or trees may be flanking the entrance until you get there!
