    I think it's (in my case) 3 axles 76% effort to attain quality....😆

    Make no mistake, love my 2022 376BHS but oh boy it's been a chore to fix and rectify simple quality issues. I am now of the opinion a RV (of any kind) is more a hobby and project than a mere camping tool. If one approach the purchase with that in mind you'll be happy.

    Some manufactures use the box length on travel trailers, which does not include the tongue. Years ago there was one manufacture that did this with fifth wheels as well which confused a lot of people including my local RV dealer. I guess that I will be measuring mine as well.

    Hmmmm. I'll have to get out the tape measure. I know when I have the truck hooked up to the trailer and the boat hitched up behind that, I'm under 74.5'. Max allowed RV 'B' train length in Ontario

    Published Length of GD Trailers

    Moderator Note: Title of this thread changed from "Fun Fact About Grand Design" to it's current with the permission of gone AWOL to capture the conversation's topic. -Howard

    For those that has a interest in how long their units are, be it for legal reasons like in BC Canada with highway length restrictions, or just for curiosity. GD measure and publish length of units from PIN to Rear....so when it says length or overall length it's not really overall, but rather what they identify ass overall. Kinda like a motorcyclist entering a bicycle race, because he identifies as a cyclist.

    Example, my Momentum 376THS is according to GD 41'1".....I measured it and low and behold it's 43'.

    In British Columbia Canada, we are only legal if we are towing a trailer shorter than 41'. There are some Insurance implications......

    Makes me wonder if my trailer is 13'5" high.....

    Now you know.
