The Keystone website has all of their trailer brands listed. Each brand has two locations where the actual trailer length is located. Each "floorplan" has the specifications listed under the floorplan diagram and each "brand" has a specifications page on which every model is listed. The length of "nearly all the current and past models" are listed for each year of production. There are some "TBA" annotations on a few models in early production. Usually the following year will have the specifications for those models listed.

Maybe check to see if there's a "forum for that brand" and ask the question there???? Or, contact the manufacturer??? Or, go to the manufacturer's website, see if their brochures are available for download ????

Many (most) brochures list all models in that brand, include a floorplan and specification chart with length, weight, tongue/pin weight, cargo capacity, tank sizes, etc.

I randomly picked two brands, Grand Design (Momentum) and Heartland (Torque).

For the Momentum, in the specs listing, there is a 2 footnote next to length. When you scroll down, the 2 footnotes denoted the length is measured from hitch to rear.

For the Torque, there is an * next to length. Scroll down and the * lists the length as from the hitch point to rear bumper, excluding ladders or spares.

The published specifications for length may or may not be accurate. Lengths are measured from different points and might be the body length, rear bumper to front tip or the pin. Published lengths will get you close but you'll have to get a tape measure if the length is critical. A friend has a Redwood 5th wheel in the upper 30,s' range and is building a house across from our bay property to include an enclosed pole barn with hookups. He went with the published length specifications and had the RV barn built to that length. Unfortunately he stuck out the front by 6". His solution was a more or less added lean-to back wall extension of 5'. He kicks himself for not actually measuring but relying on manufacturers specifications.

Measurements also may or may not include items such as lights, ladders, mirrors (motorhomes), etc.

Depending solely on a "published" RV dimension is like relying on the new car EPA sticker for budgeting you're fuel spending.

And lest we forget that "little disclaimer" from the mfg that addresses the "subject to change" clause.
