downsides(s) in moving from 36 to 42 ft

[jepalmer]

Went to the RV show (always a bad idea) and found a 42 ft 5th wheel we really like. We now have a 36 ft 5th wheel.

For those of you who have made a similar move, what have you found to be negative about the longer trailer?
Thanks.

My negative from a 35ft to a 39ft was it cost more.

yeah, we realize that NFS and other state/fed campgrounds that will take a 42 ft. are pretty darn limited. This is a big consideration for use.
(But check out the new NPS campground at Schoodic Point, Acadia NP)

Watch the pin weight and your SRW truck payload.

If you like to camp in state and national parks, the longer the rig, the fewer sites there are that you will fit into. Other than that, I don't think there's a really big difference as long as you have a truck big enough to tow it. IMHO.
