Terry, I guess I have some real thinking and research to do. I need to get out there and gain a better sense of how many campgrounds I'd be ruling myself out of if I go big. I don't remember Julian Price as a cramped little place. On the one hand, this will be my *home* and my gut tells me if I make it too small I'll regret it. On the other, well... I went today to look at some of the 5th Wheels. I have to say, they look almost outrageously big to me on the outside. (I used to be one of those people that shuddered to see huge rigs pulling in.) But they were *not* so big on the inside! The 36' Voltage toy hauler would be almost ideal for me to have a home and office in. Here's the thing: when I look at the 30', it looks for all practical purposes just as big! Maybe I just can't take it with me everywhere. Your very specific info is exactly what I needed, though.
Don't misunderstand. Julian Price is in no way cramped. BUT. You cannot park the trailer, or tow vehicle OFF the pavement. The campsites are huge. But the parking areas for the campsites are not huge.
In other words. When you back in, or pull thru a campsite. Your entire rig has to fit in the campsite driveway. So. When you have a 32 foot trailer. "The driveway" has to be long enough for the trailer, AND the TV. So you are looking at 50' or more. Unless you want to park the TV out front. Also bear in mind. Most of the pull thrus have sharp rocks as curbs on both sides, They are narrow, and they are curved. The Trailer will not track thru them with out going over the sharp (cut tire risk) curb, and into the grass, which you are not allowed to put your tires on. But the campsite itself is huge. It was designed for a tent. The "driveway". Was designed for a car, or truck, With no trailer.
