Yes you are correct I do it all the time, back in and let the back overhang past the parking lot edge, as long as it doesn't block a sidewalk and there is clearance (low curb & no curb) I also did this with my prior motorhome a 32' class c (223" wheelbase), on a 32' motorhome back wheel to front bumper is around 21'. An F250 crew cab is about 22'
my prior post I was trying emphasize using google maps satellite images or road view to see the parking areas at location you are going to visit.
The main issue for some (Not me) regarding a toad is setting up at the campsite and breaking camp to get to the store or attraction.
For the Original poster:
I am not concerned about the hassle of breaking camp as we travel light and it is just the two of us, but I am concerned about parking at the different parks and attractions. DH believes we can simply uber or rent a car but I think that would get old fast.
Uber might be OK in a major city, If you rent (we have) the car rental will bring the car to you (if close to rental agency) and drop you off when done.
What has been your experiences going without a toad? There are no arguments I can use right now to convince DH we need to use one, so I really want advice on how to handle finding parking for the Axis which is 26.5' long.
Just for reference how many school buses (typically 35') do see in destination parking areas. School buses are typically same dimensions as motorhomes.
Is there usually bus or rv parking at zoos, museums, parks, etc.? Any advice on apps that can be used to find out what kinds of parking attractions have available or do you have to call ahead for each anticipated stop?
Typically yes, call ahead, visit destination website, or use google maps on satellite images or roadview.
last year visited Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns and Niagara Falls, all had RV parking for example.
