Trailer body length

At one time trailer length's were advertised tip of hitch to rear of bumper. Is that the same today, or do they measure the body ?

    The length measurement listed on the website and in brochures is usually the actual length of the trailer. The distance from tongue to the back bumper. The the number in the model may indicate the length of the box or the length of the trailer, just depends on the manufacturer. If you're trying to stay under a specific length then pay more attention to the length measurement than the model number.
