Beautiful! I see they say 44’ total length, what is yours? I suppose my Valor 40v13 is out of the question?

I often scout out CG's I'm interested in when in the area. To visually see and determine if I can fit.
Its all about the approach! The CG roads are also part of the equation. There have been times I could fit into a given site however the roads are too tight for me to make it to ther site.
Other times I have got my 42' trailer into a site 30' max limit.
I only recommend exceeding limits if you can scout out the site

I do the same with scouting. Generally, COE campgrounds are really good. Hard to scout from 1000 miles away. :ROFLMAO:

I've often rolled the dice with my prior unit. However my 390MP is not as easy to squeeze into a site on the fly, so I'm not as likely to gamble.
From 1000 miles away I need a sure thing vs. hoping to get lucky #7!
That said once I'm in a given area I often scout nearby CG's for future use.
I will also scout/rank the CG i'm staying at for best sites for future use.

I think you would be fine. Just have to park your truck side ways at the end. That’s what I do most of the time anyway. I do agree you never know till you show up how things fit. If it was a back in site you can always back farther up if no trees, but a pull through you are stuck. I have seen a few triple axle toy haulers here.

Good to hear on seeing some in there. I often put the back end way over a pad, keeping wheels on pad of course. I have put her in some tight spots before, just always carry some extra grease…

Trying to get the wife out there...I backpacked Yellowstone, back in my early 20's. I think she is about ready to pull the trigger, thanks to Starlink and her new work desk. Good to know you were able to get your 370FB into some of the .gov sites. I had figured, there was no way to fit. We were talking about a smaller unit (Meaning I have to fix another RV)...LOL

Awesome pics! We never made it to snow before we hunkered back down in SWFL. We would fudge our length when booking often though. We found that most places max length seems more for inexperienced drivers. Our 44V14 is 45'-11" as-built and we've gotten it tucked into many spots that we probably weren't supposed to.
