Start with 20 feet for two people then add 4 feet for each extra person ! Unless you need a washer/dryer , trash compactor , two baths , patio , if ya need all that then go up to 45 feet .
I have my eye on a Vintage 20' I'm thinking of buying next.
It will fit almost any camp site.
I have a buddy who tows a 44'. He's limited where he can park his 5er.
In my experience most older parks don't easily accomodate large rigs.
Some older parks don't trim tree limbs and they can make access more difficult the wider and taller the rig. Also older parks may have the rigs parked closer together.
A park near me doesn't have room to extend an awning on some sites.
My advice would be to ask around about parks.
Years ago when I bought my first larger trailer (30'), I went to the Smokey Mountains and stayed in a motel. That weekend we went thru 14 trailer parks. I looked em over and checked to see how clean the bath houses were. I always check the one furthest from the camp host. If it's clean they will all likely be clean...
Do your homework before you go camping...
