How to measure length of fifth wheel unit
From the front of my hitch, which is even with the front outside wall, to the very back of my bumper, it measures 36'. Dealer called it a 34'. What is the "right way" to measure length ??

It's a marketing tool. People will more likely buy the shorter unit if the floor plan suits their needs. One manufacturer started this and all rest followed soon thereafter. Oh look, all this room and closet space and it's under 30' when in reality it's over 32'. Our first 5th wheel was a 28RL and it was exactly 28 feet from the bumper to the king pin. Of course this was many years ago.
