IRH:
As Gary stated you have to think ahead before selecting a shutdown area. If narrow windey roads are involved the 40Ft. allows some advantage. Neither 40 or 45 footers bend in the middle. My 45 footer has a shorter turning radius than the straight axel 40ftr. When you consider going from a class C to any larger class A you have to decide your future uses. If it's State Parks and small campgrounds in the woods a longer class A will be very restricted. If you are looking for a luxury over the highway super comfortable ride, larger room inside and dependability you cannot beat the Prevost. As far as driving between a 40 or 45 footer you probably won't be able to tell the difference on the highway
