Thanks and Happy New Year!

From my full-timing days in a 40' diesel pusher........the term 'big rig' usually meant a 40' motor home PLUS the toad, or vehicle that you were pulling behind the MoHo.
I was dragging a full size Chevy van during those 5 years (65'+ total length) and when I went into an RV park, I was sure that they could accommodate the full length of the rig, not only in the size of the spaces but the width of the roadways and especially the radius of their 'streets'.
Of course, there are NOT always forthright in what they tell you, as I found out in several of these parks. Some even required me to detach the van in order to access the area of my parking space or to negotiate the road curves.......especially the corners protected with large rocks (who WERE they thinking ?).
Be careful out there and be sure to read the various reviews that are available on-line.
