Campsite issues with longer 5ers?
In the process of comparing TH options, I've been told there are lots of CGs that don't have sites large enough to park the 40+ footers. How much should I factor this into my decision process?

One other thing you REALLY need to consider when selecting campsites, if you have a toy hauler: Do you have room at the camp site to open the garage door so you can get your toys out?
Indiana State Parks have campsites that are large enough to accommodate 40 footers. But I've seen many toy haulers much shorter than that, that will not accommodate opening the garage door down (ramp) because of trees at the end of the camp site, or adjoining campsites (rear to rear).
If you are considering a 40 foot Toy Hauler, you really need to think about campsites that will accommodate closer to 60 feet. By the time you open the garage (ramp), ... you STILL need room to get the toys off, probably another good 10 feet or more.
The bottom line though, it all depends upon the type of camping you want to do. Check out reserved campsites before hand to see if they really can accommodate 60 (plus) feet.
