I tow 35 1/2 feet of trailer with a 3/4 Ram Megacab. That's nearly 58 feet of length including my Hensley hitch and bumper. It does have a learning curve at first...especially with tail swing in gas stations. It helps to take it out locally first, backing into and out of campsites. Empty large parking lots are good for practicing. When fill ups are needed, start with truck stops (Pilots etc) as they tend to have more room between pumps and the islands.
Keep it slow in tight corners and use a spotter when in doubt. After a few trips out, you'll be confident enough with the swing radius of your coach. I fill up at Sam clubs and Walmarts all the time. You just need to plan for your exit when you immediately pull in.
Intersections and turns are extremely easy to navigate. Just think "extra wide" and always have your eye on your trailer's curbside tires.
Good luck and safe travels.
