What do all of the letters and numbers mean? Model Numbers

I finally figured out that there is a certain method to the madness of looking for floor plans. RKS means (at least in part) rear kitchen. RLS means rear living room.

Is there a (fairly complete) guide to interpreting RV model numbers?

Seems to Keystone measurement isn't a given. We have a 2955RL, most things tell you the first two numbers are the length. Nope... that is unless 29 = 32. Because it's classed as 29ft but the Keystone manual says it's length is 32. Didn't know that until AFTER we got it.


My understanding is that the number (29 in this example) is the approximate length of the living space. The total length would include the receiver, A-frame area (battery and propane storage mostly), and bumper.

Sometimes the number means "length"
Sometimes the number means "square foot"

Even that is not consistent, Northwoods old 26-5C was longer then their 27-5L

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

Numbers don't really mean a lot. Don't relate much to length.
RL = rear living
FL = front living
RK = rear kitchen
BH= bunkhouse
BR = bonus room
CK = center kitchen
RD = rear den
SA = side aisle (as opposed to an open bath, but most plans are now side aisle)
Probably missed some.

As far as I can tell, the more letters and the higher the number, the higher the price.

One explanation I heard was the only thing that made sense to me. The model letters and numbers mean just what each manufacturer wants them to mean.

There is no industry standard. Every maker uses their own system for model designation.

"S" usually means slide
"B" usually means bunk house.

I haven't seen a list.

I usually look at the manufacturers website and when I find a floorplan I like then I look at the details to get the specs.
