how do national parks measure the length of a 5th wheel?

Looking at buying a 5th wheel (or maybe a Class a mh) for the first time. One concern is how National and State parks measure the 5th wheel and/or 5th wheel and tow vehicle to determine their length...

The Calif State Parks have varying max length restrictions for trailers. The length is based on distance from rear bumper of the TV to the rear bumper of the trailer. So a hitched 28' 5ver that measures 23'-11" from rear bumper of TV to rear bumper of the 5ver will be allowed where the park's max trailer length is 24'.
