The one on my trailer certainly does, unless I put down the jacks. ;D

You have an almost 40' long MH from looking at your signature line. When you are saying you went to over 35 campgrounds and NEVER had a problem with the size of your coach, you are implying that most or all campgrounds have campsites large enough for you to fit your RV into.WILDEBILL308 said:Yes but did you buy the small "C" just so you could go to that one spot?

Yes there are plenty of campgrounds that a big rig will not fit in. However this is the 21st century and we now have the Internet and Google Earth to make it so that you never have to arrive at a campground and find out you don't fit in.AStravelers said:There are hundreds of campgrounds in state parks, National Forests, National Parks, BLM lands, county parks, city parks, etc where a 38'-40' motorhome just will not fit. Roads inside the CG have too sharp of a turn on narrow road to maneuver the long rig, campsites are only 25'-30' long, dips in the road which would keep longer rigs from driving on the road, etc. Certainly, with research, people can avoid these campgrounds, but that doesn't mean they are not prevalent.
And thousands where they will.There are hundreds of campgrounds in state parks, National Forests, National Parks, BLM lands, county parks, city parks, etc where a 38'-40' motorhome just will not fit.
No but the fact remains that slides are extremely popular and if you do buy an RV without slides you can expect major problems finding a buyer when you go to sell it. Slides dramatically increase the price and sale-ability of any RV.Isaac-1 said:Larry, I agree complete, my point initially was meant to be that the common attitude that slides are always better / preferred is not always valid...

Auto transmissions too. Heck, the whole notion of horseless carriages was radical at one time. Ditto for indoor plumbing and electric lights. I too know how to get along without all those things, but I would rather not!
