Would it be hard to drive a 33' bumper pull?
I have a power dolly for parking, so that is not a concern. But just driving through Mtns etc.

Depends on what is pulling the bumper pull.

Never seen a steering wheel on a bumper pull? Is that a new invention.

mine is 34 ft ball to bumper and the truck adds another 23ft or so.
Really have not had a problem with it. Toughest part is the corners in some campgrounds, just need to think them through before going down that road.
I have been towing for years though and am very comfortable driving and backing my setup, so that helps as well.

I love algebraic questions. 33 + x + mts = y
Can someone solve y?

Having a "power dolly for parking" while handy for use at home or at a tight storage spot, will not take the place of being proficient at parking and backing up any trailer...regardless of length.
When on the road you will most certainly encounter situations when you will have to park/back up your rig without the dolly.
and..to answer your question, no I don't think it would be hard to handle a 33 footer. There are considerations and you need to be aware of what is around you and what your position is at all times..
Do you have any towing experience at all? Most of us started with smaller rigs.

Towing our 35' bumper pull was a total non issue for us. Get the right tow vehicle and a proper hitch and practice a bit

Maybe it's just me, but, the hitch is not attached to the bumper, so why do we call it a bumper pull. This is a WDH and is attached to the frame of your TV. Anyway if you have enough truck the length isn't an issue, mountains or not. I've towed from the gulf to Canada with ball and now with a Hensley, you just need to practice to be confident. Find yourself a parking lot and practice.

That's because they quit putting bumpers on cars & trucks a long time ago.
