Why no over 40-foot trailers?

Please pardon the basic question but I've noticed that even the most expensive travel trailers are almost never over 40 feet in length. Are there some regulations or laws that preclude manufacturers from exceeding 40 feet or is it just that the market doesn't require them?

Thanks!

    "Require them"? ... more correctly, the market doesn't want them. Good grief, these are travel trailers, who would want to tow anything anywhere near that long?! :E Bigger ain't always better. :W

    State laws for one, campground limits for another.
