Thanks for the info.

Congratulations on new motorhome.

Easy to park is obviously relative. My C was about the same length as yours will be, except narrower (mine wasn't a wide body like the Four Winds). For a motorhome I thought it was very easy to park in that I could often back it into regular auto parking spots by letting the rear hang over the curve. If you try that make absolutely certain you have enough ground clearance to clear curve so you don't damage the low-hanging dump lines (mine had bath in rear also so lines more vulnerable).

I think compared to a Roadtrek (presume a van) the extra foot and a half of width, extra height, and 3 feet of extra length can't help but make it harder to park in tight places. Even extra height occassionally made a difference because restaurant parking lots and the like don't always trim trees for oversize vehicles. By comparison my 20-ft van is much easier to park, allowing me to enter tighter parking lots, so it does make a little difference.

With a little caution though a 24-ft can be parked in many places. Any longer than that and it essentially eliminates parking in standard car spaces altogether.
