I don’t pull a big rig but I think its self evident that the bigger one is the more difficult it is to maneuver tight places and fit in others. The key, though, is where you want to go. If you are happy with commercial parks and well developed camping locations the length should not be a problem. If you like the scenic roads and less developed scenic areas, then that size will likely be a severe handicap.
I can’t make a flat statement, but I suspect a very large amount of the state parks would be off limits, too. It’s really a tradeoff between size and comfort and ability to go where you like. Sort of a you can’t have your cake and eat it too type thing. Even 30’would be far too restrictive for me, but as said where you want to go is key.
Great advice,listen to this one. As far as finding camping spots, it will depend on where you want to go and how much trouble you are willing to deal with. I like the state and national parks. I can tell you that many of these like Mt. Rainer and Glacier park have sites available but not all of them can accommodate large trailers. When I had a 21 footer I could camp anywhere. When I moved up to a 25, I could still find spots but some of the sites wouldn't work. Now imagine a 39. There probably would be some sites that would work but not many. So, if you want to ALWAYS call ahead and reserve spots you might be in luck. If you camp during peak times, you will have to plan closely.
On the other hand, if you frequent private campgrounds you should be just fine. I think KOAs are set up for very large rigs.
