OK, years ago, the number did generally mean something, and it generally was the overall length. We had a Fleetwood Prowler 24M, was 24' from hitch to bumper with 21' actual inside space. Our next TT a Gulfstream Conquest was a 26XXX (forget the letters), but was actually 26' box, making for approx 30' overall.
2010 Montana 2955RL (same model posted earlier at 32') ours was 34'. Now current Redwood is a 36RL, brochure length of 38'11", but it's measured from the King Pin back, actual spec drawing length is 40'2" tip to tail and 409 SqFt.
Oh, in reference to an earlier post that model numbers told you which model is bigger, not always the case as with Montana, 3400/3402 are one of the bigger models, yet many smaller have higher model numbers.
So in the End, as has been said many times, get out the trusty tape measure and get to the scales, only way to know for sure.............
