Hello all, my wife and I (and our two small children ages 4 and 2) are looking at a fifth wheel to pull with our F250 super crew cab long bed diesel 4x4 (i threw all in there for the tech ques later). We will always have family with us and because of that we are more interested in the bunk house model with 1.5 baths. We are noticing that many campgrounds have a max length and one in particular in yellowstone where we are committed to doing next summer says 50 feet overall length. So my questions are as follows, what size should we try and stay at to not miss out on some campground amenities. Secondly, anyone know of a nice spot in yellowstone with an oversized set up? I dont want to do the fishing bridge, I want to be a little closer to nature and have the ability to have a fire pit.

Thanks for all your time

Welcome aboard.You should be more concerned with weight than length, IMHO your F-250 shouldn't be pulling more than 10,000 lbs especially in the mountains which limits you to around 28' give or take. That will keep you under the 50' overall mark.
