We have a 40' MH and have full-timed in it for 10 years. Public parks are always our first choice or else boondocking. We have easily found sites in many national such as Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, Rocky Mtn. Zion, Bryce to name a few. Plus, we've done all those without reservations. We've spent more time in national forest campgrounds and state parks and even city and county parks. We do our research and if we're not sure when we get there, we'll disconnect the Jeep and check out conditions before driving in. It's no big deal. We got the motorhome in order to tow a Jeep and we've had more fun with it.
We've been to Alaska and again, used public parks throughout Canada, the Yukon and Alaska. We also found some great boondocking spots. We rarely stayed in private parks. We have solar and don't need hookups.
Granted, you will not fit in every place. Naturally, we wouldn't try for California's state parks but we've used national forest campgrounds there. Now we mainly stay west of the Mississippi but have done a lot in the eastern states, too. Corps of Engineers parks and state parks give us no problems there.
I would recommend that you get what you'd be most comfortable with. You'll do just fine.
