Thanks all. It's given us quite a bit to think about. While it'd be easier to tow and set up a smaller rig, we do want to be able to grow into this one and not have to get another later. We have a few days to think it over as the dealer gets us the official spec lists on the units coming in.

There are fewer sites that can accommodate the larger rigs. That said, I have found it takes planning, but I haven't found it to be restrictive.

We've been on the road FT for 4 years in our 42'6" MO. The length DOES restrict you being able to get into many State and National parks - especially older ones. But, we have been able to find private parks nearby and have yet to miss seeing any sight we wanted....we just may have had to drive a little to get there. We're retired, so a little extra time means little to us. YMMV

Do you currently rv? If so where do you like to go? Where do you plan to go? Our favorite spots in NW Ga are CoE parks, many sites say 40' but could handle longer, many say 40' and end up being tight. Just left a site that was 40 but because of slides hook ups had to keep coach close to front edge.
Much as it pains me to help a Nole, lol

It might make it worse to say my wife is a Bulldog
We don't. This is our first. We've checked out a few places near us (Lake Lanier CoE parks), and found a few that will work. We went over to Shoal Creek before trying to get a spot there, and I'm glad we did - it would've been way too short and on a curve.
Most of the places we've been looking are private resorts, not state parks. There are only a few we've been interested in that we can't fit in.
We did think it over before we signed, but now it's done - we placed an order for it yesterday!2018 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW Duramax Diesel

Making me feel a bit nostalgic talking about Lake Lanier. Spent my childhood growing up on it, and lots of in it! Haven't camped on it in a few years now, and that was mostly at the scout camp. Got me feeling like breaking the tent out of the storage bin and heading over to the beautiful campground down the water from us here on the Olympic Peninsula that we can't fit into with our rig!

We started with Campers Inn in Acworth. They're HORRIBLE. Gave up waiting on them, even though it meant having to order a rig from the factory instead of getting one off the lot and driving an extra hour. We went with Northgate in Ringgold. So far we've been pleased with them. Much less hassle and better business practices than Campers Inn.2018 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW Duramax Diesel
