Trailer Length definition
I just bought my first trailer. The seller called it a 26-footer. But the model is a 250T, which implies 25 feet to me. The actual box of the trailer measures about 23.5 and the length from bumper ...

I thought we were talking about box size vs model, not total length?
The box size will be around 3' to 3.5' less than the total length as that is the length of the tongue. The variance is from some boxes overlapping the tongue. So that gives you a box size of 26'7" to 26'1", much longer than the model's 22 number as I stated. However as stated above, the box is 25' for this specific model.
And most makers do not measure box lengths as it doesn't matter for anything. Only the total length matters for storage, campsites, and vehicle towing based on the tow vehicle's wheelbase.
I think there's 1 or 2 makers that measure boxes and that's about it. Different when you are talking pop ups though. ;)
