Any Length Restriction Resources?
I've seen the various discussions about the RV length and getting into federal/state parks, etc. I understand that if you have a bigger rig you can typically find something nearby if the specifi...

This "MYTH" comes up every now and again...that's exactly what it is..a myth. Our rig is 45' which is pretty much the longest coach out there. That said, we've been all over this beautiful country and have not found that to be true. We stay in State Parks, Federal Lands, Corps of Engineers Parks, (our favorite BTW), Elks Lodges and small county parks. As I type this, we are in a COE park in Washington. From here we are headed to a 35 space county park in Oregon. Sure there are a limited number of spaces we can fit in but we've not found a park that did not have a space for our rig. We do make reservations ahead of time and often will call the park to make sure they have a site large enough, but we've never had someone say nope, you're too big. There are some private cgs that indicate on their web page they are not big rig friendly but we simply ignore those.
Now here's the deal. To answer your question, many, if not most parks are constantly changing and improving their cgs. Much of the improvements are adding 50amp service and enlarging their sites. Many sites were designed for smaller coaches with zero slides. This made the sites short and narrow. To accommodate the influx of coaches that have slides, the spaces needed to be enlarged. It costs very little to make them longer if you're already making them wider. Does that make sense>? So, if someone were to make a list, and you can buy the "Big Rig" book but that list, like the book is out of date before it goes to press. Sure many of the sites in the book and/or list would be valid but there are many other sites out there that you'd be missing.
