Length of Trailers

A little confused here , when everyone talks of their 22 or 24 ft. trailer ( for instance) are they referring to box length or overall bumper to end of tongue ? TIA

You'd have to ask each individual person ... when I speak of my own I refer to it as a 19' because that's roughly the size of the box and therefore the class size it's in, but if total length is relevant to the discussion then I'll say it's 22' 6" coupler to bumper. Here in Ontario where the CAMIS reservation system represents a lot of park systems including Ontario Parks I'll enter my trailer size as "18' & under" as that maximizes the number of sites that might be available and even though it's actually longer than that I know for fact it will fit on any of these so-called "small" sites. JMO, but description of trailer size should be dictated by the context of the discussion as sometimes it's box size that's relevant, other times it's tip to tail.
