Reserving Space
I am a complete novice when it comes to reserving camp sites online. The TT we bought is a North Trail 31BHDD. Printed OAL is 35' and our truck is 19' totaling 54'. I am assuming I have to add length ...

Thanks! I was unsure so I called Oregon State Parks and asked. The gal said with emphases, "You have to reserve for the full length of the truck and trailer. You may not be able to detach the truck!"
We volunteer for the Oregon Parks Dept and the Host site we are at this month is not long enough to park SUV except from side to side of the site, kind of angled so it fits. Think that is what they were talking of ..
BUT there are sites which are not wide enuff either and having a site long enough to pull SUV into the size backed up to the TT does allow us to hitch-up more easily in the a.m. before pulling out, else we have to sorta block the road when we hitch up in readiness to pulling out. So it does matter how long your rig is.
Our TT came out of the factory advertised as 28 ft., however with the 3 ft. tongue - this makes it a 31 or 32 ft. length for sites. Some rv parks allow for this and others don't .. had one park try to put us in a 27 ft. depth site. Didn't work, so had to move to a 40 ft. length site.
So through the years we have learned to add that 3-3.5 ft onto the plated length of the TT when reserving a site either in a state park/campground or private rv park.
