numbers and letters on trailer

Hi all, the DW and i were sitting around tonight and started talking about the number / Letters on trailers.. We get the numbers part, but the letters (series) get us!!

IE: Keystone Hideout 177LHS length 17.7 LHS ?????

I think that the numbers used to be fairly close to the length of the trailer, but there seems to be a good deal of wiggle room nowadays.

For example, we have a Cougar 25RLSWE. From nose to tail, we measure just about 30 feet, but that includes the hitch. The Rear Living Slide WEstern model is where the letters come from.

Some of the letters have obvious meaning, some are more obtuse and some are just plain letters, it seems...

look here http://rv52.com/little-things-ive-le...out-rv-naming/

or other hits from a google search of rv name decode

Long ago some of the numbers were "somewhat" representative of the Interior length. Today it seems they like to make those numbers quite a bit smaller than the actual length, my guess has been to make the customer think it is smaller than it is and can be pulled by something smaller than it should be.

Letters can get very creative, but a lot of them make sense when you think about them. I don't know what your floorplan is but could LHS stand for Left Hand Slide? Just a wild stab.

It appears that the "LHS" is the series ... Luxury Hideout Series ...

or is it "Brand" ??? Shows up that way on one page in the below links, alongside Fusion, Laredo, Montana, et al.

Or is it Lightweight Hideout Series? Also shows up in the Light Weight search category ....

As many have said - numbers are very loosely tied to length most of the time (sometimes they aren't even close). Letters often represent some floor plan characteristic (but again not always).

The common ones are things like:

RLS = rear living room slide
BHS = bunk house
FL = front living room

My Hideout is a BHDS which is a bunk house double slide

Once you learn the letters a bit it can be useful at RV shows as you walk around looking for a certain floor plan. Other than that I have never found much use for it. I suppose when picking out a spot while driving around a campground you could avoid anything "BH" if you don't want to be around my screaming kids

Codes

Good luck on your code search. My Son-in-law works for NSA and their cypher code breakers have been working on decoding my "303TG" for 4 years now. To date, my "Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring" has come up blank.

My best guesses were:

A: 303 payments TO GO
B: 303 beers TO GO(based on the capacity of the 2 fridges)
C:303[/COLOR] miles until the TIRES GO flat.

IMHO I think it may be 303 = Sq. FT with slides out and TG is for "tailgating" to represent the outdoor kitchen and bumper gas grill but I can find no one that can confirm nor deny this.

UPDATE ----- I have heard a rumor that 2 guys in a small dark room with a Oujia board are naming the new models at Keystone. Someone onced asked the famous Carol Shelby what the 350 signified in his creation, the Mustang GT 350. He said that his team was in his office contemplating a name when he asked one of his team how far was it from his office to the shop. One guy said around 350 feet and the name was decided.

Still trying to figure out "SRX".

S: Special
R: Rear
X: Whatever you put in the garage or eXtension.

I had forgot about this..... I think some model #s do relate to the floor sqft. It's funny though because @ 8 feet wide with some slides out it becomes very close to a factor of 10 with the length. For example - model 280xxx could be 28 feet long but also may be 280 sqft with the slides out.

326 SqFt is very close to what my 37.5 foot long 326SRX has. The 325SRX is the same size, but has a slightly different floor plan trading garage space for living space, so I don't know how accurate the numbering actually is, but the opine on square footage seems to be the most accurate description.
