I will probably be in the minority here. I've had 40ft solid axle, 40ft IFS and now a 45ft. I love the extra space in the 45ft coach, king size bed etc, however, it is definitely a bit harder to maneuver and park the 45 foot coach. Not a lot, but it does take being a bit more careful.

As mentioned before, even with a 40 ft coach, your options are limited in terms of some national parks, etc. Even a lot of RV parks are questionable, even if they say they support "big rigs".

I do love my 45 foot coach, but if I could have gotten a 40, I would have. In CA, anything over 40 requires a class B license, so check where you live for licensing requirements.
