Trailer Length Definition

When someone says they have a trailer off XX' and when speaking correctly:

Is the length of trailer measured from rear bumper to point of A frame
or
Is the length of the trailer the size of the box
or
something else

TIA

When I say it, it’s tip to tail. Don’t know about anyone else.

Realize trailer models numbers have nothing to do with the trailer's true length.
