The length and rig don't bother me. My experience is limited to state parks and private campgrounds mostly in PA so far. Our first run out I just drove the truck through some of the other loops in the campground. This is a BIG state park campground for here in PA nearly 300 sites. There were some big 5th's in sites that were ok, but the "road" aka goat path out was horrendous. It was tight just driving the dually through. Seems like they go around every tree rather than cut one, I expect and love that on my mountain bike, but not so much with a 37' trailer. That's what gets me nervous. And trees that just aren't pruned high enough for 5th's. Maybe I'm just being nervous as this is my first "real" full height trailer, and it's unfounded. PA is adding full hookup sites to attract more campers, but they really do need to spend some time opening up the roads and making them a bit more friendly for the campers, and bigger rigs that full hookup sites will attract.

Maybe they have got to pruning since I was there, last visit to Hickory Run was April 2015, and Hills Creek was May 2016. We were actually just talking about Hickory Run again today. Most of our camping now is big private CG's with pools and lots to do as i now have a 2 year old to keep busy.

Not as much bling as a lot of the toy haulers but it is built very well. Very sturdy all aluminum frame walls and roof. The skin on the roof is also aluminum. Torsion axle suspension, pulls smoother than any of our previous 5th wheels (TH and non TH). I like not having a 5th wheel hitch in the bed of the truck, the only downside is hitching up the gooseneck is a little more challenging by myself.
