Newbie question about touring with 5th wheel
found a 42' Forest River 5th wheel we love but wondering if its too long for touring America & visiting National Parks. Appreciate your input. Thanks in advance

You need to understand that most CG in major older parks were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) back in the 1930's and sites are based on what they expected from that era, small in other words and no services for many parks. 30 to 35 ft is the max in many but not all park campgrounds and there are quite a few that have shorter length limits.
We had a fiver before getting our new unit and after looking at some park campgrounds we decided on a 34 ft unit. You should do the same look at the campgrounds on Reserve America (where you make national park reservations) website and make your own determination.
Just my personal thoughts: it would be a cold day in Hades before I'd drag that behemoth around.
Oh one very important point: DEALERS LIE. Don't trust a thing they tell you, all they care about is your money in their pocket. Once you are off the lot they do not care what happens to you. I doubt many of them actually are RVers and probably have never camped in a park.
