new guy looking for some answers

I personally haven't had any issues bring my Sprinter into national or state parks.

When I had my class A, I bought the shortest possible for the same rationale - I got a 25' that was actually 26' and the state beaches near me have a 27' cutoff so even that rig went most places.

I think the Sprinter is around 22 or 23', and I intentionally didn't put an air conditioner, awning, etc. on it so it just looks like a big van.

Hi,

The EB is a bit over 22' long and the extended version of the van is 24' long.

We bought the 144" wheelbase just for that reason. For example, Mt Diablo, here in the Bay Area has a 19' length maximum although I have seen longer up there and never seen any measured.

One big ($) advantage is if you take the ferry to Alaska what you pay is based on length. Bellingham to Haines 19'= $949, Bellingham to Haines 21'=$1223 and the same at 22'=$1529.

Another advantage to the 19' is we fit in many parking spaces. Going to an A's game we pay for normal parking whereas a 22' is going to be most likely charged for 2 spaces.
