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

If of course you are custom fitting a cover, or measuring for a garage, or aligning a number of TTs for storage and such, then the exact bumper to ball receiver tip and fender skirt to fender skirt bulge can be important.
Box size at it's longest dimension is the only number that matters when selecting a cover as there's no reason to cover the tongue or the bumper. Any outdoor lots I've stored at don't hassle to the foot and in fact usually charge in group sizing - i.e. up to 20', up to 30', 30' and over. The only time the facility owner wanted to know the exact coupler to bumper length of my trailer was this past fall when for the first time in many years I was arranging for indoor storage - understandable when they're trying to figure out if they can accommodate me. I've never been asked about width, ever.
