Determining trailer length from model #?

Is it possible to determine the length of a trailer by the model #? If so, how? We're starting to look for a new trailer and some listings don't show the length of the trailer.

Also, how can you tell if the length includes the hitch? Thanks.

    Many many years ago model numbers were used to ID trailer lengths.....usually inside measurement.
    Not so now a days..model numbers are just a hold over.

    Each MFG uses a different yard stick...some list length and it is including tongue....some is just trailer w/o tongue


    If length is a REAL issue then you will need to actually measure for yourself

    No, it might be close but model number does not tell you the length. Take a tape measure if its critical.
