The model (like 26 BH) on TTs is the length of the box and floorplan (26 BH is a 26' box with a bunk house).
That used to be true, until the marketing guys got involved....folks were concerned about towing too long of a trailer, so trailers now are frequently longer than their model # would indicate. My Terry has 28 in the model number but the "box" is 32'.
Some manufacturers still follow this tradition, some don't. Also new designs are changing standards for tongue length and rear bumper placement....if you want to know how long the trailer is, you need to measure it.
