I'm with you Tom. The 39 footer was much easier to dart around with. With the 45 footer especially pulling the truck with the tailgate down when we get to a campground Cindy goes in while I unhook the truck. Seldom do we leave it hooked up. One campground we left the truck hooked. Well in order to make the turn to get out of the site I had to back up about 10'. I just kept my eye on the monitor and stopped when the truck started to turn.
In Golden, CO I had to go around the campground twice after almost getting stuck on a turn and having to back up a ways. And they advertise as big rig friendly! Then at Mountaindale RV in Colorado Springs I almost couldn't make the turn inside the campground to get to our site. Hopefully they filled in those ruts by now
I guess we just have to change our expectations now.
I'll try the tour bus suggestion next time. But we do like to use the truck to check out the sites first.
