Correct, Padgett. My 2417 is 18' ball-to-bumper when closed, and 21' when open.
To muddy the waters, though, while the first pair of numbers is supposed to represent the length of fixed-wall trailer of the same stated length (27 feet, for instance), some manufacturers are no longer including the tongue length in their general statement of the length of the trailer. I was in the RV.net forum a while ago, and people had been posting their lengths. Some manufacturer-claimed lengths included tongue, and some did not. I have not done independent research to verify those claims, so I take this information with a grain of salt.
