We have a 40' RV and have been looking to move to 45'. However, we recently did some camping along the CA coast and realized that our favorite camping places would not accommodate a 45' coach and not being able to travel to our favorite places is an unacceptable option. We DO like primitive camping such as Rincon Parkway near Ventura. The sites are 45' long. So, what do you plan to do with your toad? We like many of the beach campsites and 40' give you many more options. We HATE the "resorts" that cater to the super high end RVers and they tend to be occupied by a high percentage of overly rich, overly "it's all about me" kind of folks. You are not me so YMMV, but I don't see us ever moving to a 45'. We are just looking for the exact right 40' to continue the dream we have been living for the last 21 years.
