Is your RV longer than 24 feet or shorter?

24 feet, that’s the length in question today! We’re talking about RVs, of course, not, like, the world’s longest sub sandwich or something… (But if you were wondering, the world’s longest sub sandwich measured 2,411 feet and 5 inches in length… yes, that’s nearly a half-mile. It’s weight? Just under 1,300 pounds.)

Is your current RV longer than 24 feet or shorter? After you vote, please leave a comment and tell us the length of your RV. And the length of your perfect sub sandwich too, just for fun!

Thor Four Winds 24FS. Measures as at 24’9″ (TECHNICALLY longer than 24, less than 25!) Small enough to get into tight spots, big enough for the two of us. Wouldn’t change a thing (except the wall coverings…ugh!)

28′ 8″. perfect for those original State Parks with the shorter sites. One that we use in Florida, if you are over 30′, go somewhere else. Have been into many other last minute

We have a 33 foot travel trailer toy hauler. We started with a 20 feet toy hauler and realized we did not like the motorcycle in the living quarters.

21 feet for my primary rig.

1990 Ford 4 Door Centurion Conversion 1 Ton 4WD Bronco with a Bronco specific 1993 Hallmark “Pop Top” camper that mounts on the rear where the original hardtop was located. Certainly NOT for a full timer rig but GREAT for off-road off-grid trips most anywhere you want to go for a week or less!

I have several other towable campers all less than 20 feet including the a 1957 Avion that is the second oldest Avion trailer known to exist.

35’ Newmar Class A we can get in most anywhere. There have been a few free fishing spots we would not fit but mostly no problem. We can hang over a concrete slab a good five foot. This length is perfect for fulltime with a bath and a half!

I started out living in a 20′ TrailBlazer TT in the ’70’s while in college, back in the same TT with DW while building our log house in Tennessee, moved up to a 24′ TT when our church friends wanted to sell it, finally in our 40′ DP full-time having sold our S&B last Feb. Lots of fun and games along the way.
Now 70 and no subs – gyros instead.

Our 5th wheel is 42′ long.

We try not to eat subs very often due to the carb count but, if we do, they’re 6″ers from Subway. Most of the time we get a Subway salad and load it down!

1994 Fleetwood Tioga 23.5 feet. Since it takes less than 2 parking spaces, I can park it in most parking lots at museums, attractions, and small grocery stores. I have no problem fitting into older state and national park campgrounds.

If the motive of this poll is to get an idea of RV lengths in use, why not have several ranges to select from vs just +/- an arbitrary 24′?

Our DP is 42′ 9″.

Spike, we’ve conducted more than 2,000 polls through the years, and have been more specific on this subject before. This time was just to get a general idea of how many of our readers are traveling “big” or “small.”

Hi, Cheryl. I’m here, and I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. Now that first-time commenters have to be approved for security purposes (first-time comments are held in Pending for moderation), Chuck gets the early shift for moderating. (He’s a morning person and I’m a night person.) That’s why we’re looking for some part-time help, to cover the early shift and to help on weekends, when we get thousands of comments. It’s difficult for me to get my work done on the weekend when comments are coming in almost nonstop, like this past weekend. And since folks on the East Coast start commenting at 2:00 a.m. Pacific time, shortly after I go to bed, we need someone to moderate comments early morning. But all’s very well! Thank you. Have a great day, Cheryl. 😀 –Diane (the night owl)

With my 26′ Winnebago class C I can go where many can’t: Dry camping on many friends’ driveways, small roads and town streets– especially on the east coast, state parks and older private parks, most parking lots. Also, cheaper to fuel and easier to wash and wax. With the slideout, plenty of room inside for my full-time life.

30 feet from spare tire to tongue tip. 2nd 5th wheel. Used almost 8 months of year. Large enough for the 2 of us when we are together. I travel for employment and she is a school teacher. We love our Road trips home when she is able to travel during her breaks. Subs are seldom. If done she does a 6 inch. I don’t care for them.

We went through various longer RVs over the years, but now that we are older and hopefully wiser, we travel in a class C Mini Winnie that is just under 25 feet. No slip and slide to mess with, thank goodness, easy to drive and setup. Just right for an old geezer and his lovely wife.

In 12 years – 31’ class C, 36’ class A, 24’ B+ all gas rigs. Got tired of the squeaking, rattling inside the rigs and the rear dual wheels bouncing & banging off the rough roads. Now 26’ cabin TT & a Superduty pickup. Went from three vehicles to two. Peaceful driving now and insurance went from $1,300 a year on MH down to $235 on the TT.

Until about 4 PM, EDT on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, our RV was a 43′ DP. Since then it has been a 36′ DP. Either way, longer than 24′. Agree many advantages to traveling in something so small, but once one is “camped,” “situated,” whatever, there are many advantages to longer, larger.

Just sold 42’, 2018 high end 5W and ordered 17’ Truck Camper. 42’ with 3 super slides and all amenities was great to live in for 2 years, but with new home built we are ready for active
Road trips (retired young) and 42’ really hampers spontaneous mobility.

My first RV was a 17′ Casita Spirit Deluxe Travel Trailer I bought new in 2010 and put 54,000+ miles on. In 2014, I “graduated” to my second (and current) RV. It’s a 2015 Dynamax DX3-37RB Super-C diesel puller that I bought new and, currently have 56,000+ miles on it (low mileage because of Covid). I really like the true Super-C form factor as it has a huge saftey factor that other RVs can’t match.
