This thread has been a real eye-opener for me! We drove back from Tryon NC last year (our last tent camping journey, and we were working for the event no less!)
We must have passed hundreds of 5th wheels on I-81, all of them MASSIVE units like you'd see on MTV cribs or something - 4+ slides, etc. Not to mention the ridiculous RVs at the horse parks (competitors and such, I guess).
I figured size-wise the unit we ended up getting was pretty much middle-of-the-road, again the places we've been are usually large horse park campgrounds so maybe the pad size and access threw me off?
Anyways I definitely didn't think it was considered large, and NEVER would have though it would be at-or-near the limit for well-known campgrounds.
So that's kinda a bummer, but at least I won't just assume where it'll fit if I ever take an actual recreational trip somewhere new!
