To measure the length of your RV, first, use a tape measure and a piece of chalk to mark a line from the front to the back. Measure from one side of the chalk line to the other, making sure to write down the number. Then, measure the length of your trailer from the widest point on your trailer and measure from one side to the other, taking into account any additional lengths added with after-market attachments.
The interior length refers to the length of the living space inside the vehicle, going from the front to the back wall inside the vehicle. This RV length measurement goes from the front to the back wall inside the vehicle. The exterior length measures from the back bumper to the trailer tongue, essential for registration and fitting purposes. The hitch is the measurement from the front to the bumper on the outside of the trailer. The exterior width is the measurement from one side of the trailer to the other, including any length you may have added with after-market attachments.
The length and width of the camper are measured by measuring the outside of the camper without adding the additional length of the parts of the trailer without a camper. Travel trailers are generally measured in two ways: length and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The length is the overall length of the trailer, including accessories and the truck in cases where you own a towable RV.
To measure the length of your RV, start at the front bumper and measure to the rear bumper. For the height, measure from the ground to the highest point on the trailer. Measure the length of the travel trailer from the back of the rear bumper to the front of the tongue. Measure the total length of the trailer, including any accessories like AC units or antennas. Manufacturers often list both “Exterior” and “Box Size” measurements.
In summary, measuring the length of your RV is crucial for various reasons, such as determining its fit in your garage or determining the overall length of your towable vehicle.

What I wish is that articles that show off a certain model would just say floor plan is 21′ and bumper to hitch is 26′. Usually on a bumper pull you’re looking at 5′ longer than the model number. 5th wheels on the other hand have 3 different lengths to consider, floor plan length, total length and the length you’ll be when hitched up because around 3-4′ is actually in the bed of your tow vehicle so your overall rig length will be shorter. It seems like on 5th wheels the model number is the floor length on the main level and doesn’t include the upper level. For example a Grand Design Reflection 311BHS is 36′ 10″ so that extra 6′ 10″ is around the length of the nose area.
Hi, my 2021 Jayco 195rb is described as 21 foot, the floorplan measures 18 foot. Apparently trailers 25′ and under include the length to hitch but trailers longer than 25′ use only the floorplan lenght….or so I’m told by someone in the business. The overall length is critical to me as I’m taking it on a ferry to NL summer of 2022.
Its like they know if you really knew the lenght you wouldnt buy it, just admit it, any camper over 17 feet is hard to store, park, and resell, and most of all maintian, they want you to buy the big ones because they know thier disposable,,,,if you think im wrong, why are smaller campers the onew that hold thier value,, i see 24 foot and plus trailers for 2 grand and less all the time, 17 foot and under, you will be lucky to find one at 4 grand ….easy to park, maintian and sell, dont need a farm to have a 17 footer and i got everything the big ones got except room for the inlaws,,,ahhh life is good …..
So if you’re measuring “total length” (RV + tow vehicle) a 24′ fifth wheel will make for a shorter total length than a 24′ trailer (no matter how you measure the trailer). And as the fifth wheel will have a smaller box you will have less “full sized headroom space”. A 30′ fifth wheel measured with the tow vehicle will be approximately the same total length as a 24′ trailer. It will have the same “full sized headroom space” plus the additional upstairs bedroom. Hope that’s clear. I was figuring it out as I went along.
