[A/S] RE: Basic Information Needed Please



I agree with the comments by Oliver regarding minimum 
trailer size.  We went from a 27' to a 32' and it always 
amazes me how much additional space that 5' difference 
makes.  Also, I was initially concerned about 
maneuverability and towability with the larger unit. 
 Other than weight, of course, I have found that the 32' 
is absolutely no more difficult to tow, maneuver, or 
back-up than our 27' was.

My question for the group is regarding campground 
exclusion for larger trailers.  Are there a lot of 
campgrounds that prohibit large units?  When we got our 
32' I was concerned about this.  However, in the past 3 
years I have yet to run into a single campground that our 
unit is too large for.  Most of our camping is done in 
state parks in the midwest (Michigan mostly).  To be 
honest, it seems to me that when we are in a campground 
our 32 footer is not a large trailer.  Anymore most parks 
cator to the really large 35'+ units & 5th wheels.  We 
have been in campgrounds where our trailer actually looked 
small compared to most of our neighbors.
