What's Too long

I'm selling my house and want to upgrade from my truck camper to a fifth wheel. I plan to live in it for a while until I decide where I'm moving to and if I want another stick house. Meanwhile I will do some traveling but I'm limited because I still work. I'm very interested in DRV fifth wheels, however I'm a little concerned about the length. I've heard that there are a lot of RV parks that have restrictions on length. Since I have had a truck camper all these years, this was never a problem. The fiver I'm looking at is 40'. Will I have a problem? I'm not one to want to stay at resort parks. I like a variety. I already know State and National parks are out. Could someone give me some insight?

Your current TV is 2008 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Dually 4x4 V-10.

There are some of the shorter DRV 5er you could carry and pull with the 2008 V-10, but not a long one. They ones that would give you length issues would be in the 18,000# to 20,000# GVWR.

The shortest is 13,500# Dry! While the V-10 is a strong engine, it isn't a diesel. You might be able to pull a smaller one, but not the long ones.
