Ready to have your mind blown? The first two digits are NOT the actual open length. It’s the “equivalent trailer size”. Most camper list their total length, including the A-frame. Since a TrailManor extends forward over that A-frame, they then add that A-frame length back on to come up with a length comparison. So my 3326 has the living space equivalent to a 33ft camper, but in fact the total length is about 29ft 6in. A little marketing sleight of hand on TM’s part.
As soon as my TM gets out of hibernation, I too will be making an EXACT measurement of the trailer. I was curious as to it's actual dimensions. As as a guy who has been in and around the RV biz for a long while I can tell you that all the manufacturer play fast and loose with the "facts". The only thing you can be sure is pretty accurate is the DOT weight ratings.
