actual length

Some brochures will give overall length.

I think this is at least "mostly" true. Our Surveyor 235 has a box 23.5 ft long and an overall length of 25.5 ft.

the length amount, in FR's specs, is the tongue to bumper measurement. don't think it includes the spare tire, since it normally is an option.

On my Wildcat 25 RL I just measured it inside from front wall to rear wall is 25 ft.
The outside measurement was 28 ft from front cap to spare tire.

My Salem Villa Estate is a 392flfb. The trailer itself is 39ft, 42 with tongue. Not sure what the 2 stand's for, but i'm guessing it's for the 2 axles.

Spoke to my dealer today. He said that the 37'6" stated in the brochure was tongue to tail.
So until I can confirm otherwise by actual measurement, I will take his word.
