I wonder what the comparison is to damage done by large gas rigs in campgrounds to that done in gas stations and retail parking lots?

I believe the biggest factors are the wheel cut, which both my prior F53 and the S2RV, now, are 55 degrees and the wheelbase. Given the same wheel cut the shorter the wheelbase the shorter the turning radius. I have noticed a difference between the two rigs but not so much in campgrounds but rather in the entry and exit from my driveway at home and then turning the coach around in my driveway. It's not an issue, I just noticed the difference.
