Trailer outside dimensions are measured from outside of the box. For example, a 7’ X 16’ trailer means that the trailer is 7 feet wide from outside one side of the box to the outside of the other side of the box. The trailer length is 16 feet from the back of the box to the front, but only the rectangle portion of the box.
If the trailer is a “V” nose, the length normally is not included in this measurement. Many “V’ nose trailers add an additional 2 feet to the length of the trailer. In summary, a 24 foot “V” nose trailer may be a total of 26 feet, measured from the farthest point in the front to the back of the trailer.
Outside height: Keep in mind that the eight is measure from the form the bottom of the box to the top of the box. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ROOF VENTS AND OTHER INSTALLED ITEMS.
MAKE SURE TO ASK YOUR DEALER HOW THEY MEASURE THEIR TRAILERS BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE MISCOMMUNICATION.
