How big is to big?

[K4DCF 1]

We just upgraded from a 34 foot Class A to a 42 foot 5th wheel. The rub is I made reservations for a full hookup site months before we did this. I have called and made sure the the length of our new one is on the reservation Our total length is 58 feet when hitched so is there a site in full hookup that we will fit in. Also what are the chances we can upgrade to premium.

When are your reservations for?

[K4DCF 1]

We arrive 27 nov and checkout the 8th dec.

You will fit and and most likely if you call you can upgrade.

You'll be fine on a good portion of the full hookups.

Isn't the main issue with the full hookup loops is the roads are narrower than the newer loops are making it harder to back into a site? So while the sites are big enough it might be harder to get into them.

I'd have a note added to your reservation asking for 1600, 1700 or 1800 due to your length. 1900 is the tightest of the 4 loops. You might do OK in the new 2000, but those sites seem a little smaller.

Good luck trying to upgrade to premium that time of year.  You may have luck the week of or when you check in since some people cancel at last minute. I've been trying to add 2 days to a reservation around that time for 8 months with no luck.  Thankfully I cancelled the whole trip

In 2014 we were in the 1800 loop with a comparable size setup and were able to get in with only minor setbacks. There was a trash can across from our site that came into play when backing but we were able to get around it. I did have to push someone's golf cart all the way into their site but other than that no issues.

 

Snug as a bug:

With right skill, I'd be willing to bet that any site is within reach. I have, on more than one occasion while out walking the dogs, marveled at people's abilities.

I agree I have helped and watch some large rigs wiggle into a site. Now it's my turn. I plan on going to a large parking lot and setting up some cones to practice with the new 5th wheel.

My TT is only 32 feet in length, but I have had trouble on some sites due to what Keith says above.  I have also been on a couple of sites in the 1900 loop where I could not park the truck directly in front of the trailer and had to jam it into the side of the site which make it very inconvenient to walk around when coming and going.
