Determining size is a function of how you will use the MH. When you first start out I think you want to see as much as possible and move every couple of days to the next spot. When I traveled to Alaska there were times that I wished I had a truck camper rather than a 33 ft Class A when I saw some of the remote sites that people were able to find and camp at. My friend was a full timer in a 38 ft Dutch star DP and we did ok finding sites. I would always go first to check things out or sometimes we would disconnect a tow car to see if we could get in. After 10 years I still want to see things and am more of a traveler than a camper. On the other hand I used to belong to a Good Sam's camping club and 99 % of the folks would not think about camping with out full hook ups and paved roads in the CG. I have other friends that winter in the same CG in Fla every year in a 40 ft DP for 4 mo's at a time and have never traveled to see Everglades NP Big Cypress or any of the Springs in Ocala NP. There is no right or wrong answer only you can determine how you want to camp. Also I notice as folks get older and have seen this great country they tend to stay longer in one spot with friends they have made so there is a transition to larger MH's or 5th wheels. Some people like to ride the Merry go rounds some the roller coaster, everyone is different. Just my perspective.
