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. Its 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!

1989 36′ class A Foretravel Grand Villa—and I haven’t had a sub in years.

2014 40′ DP towing 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. Don’t like the smell of diesel but enjoy the torque. Yes 40′ is really long, and No it doesn’t drive like a truck.

Just a foot over 24′. BTW, I had a ham & swiss sub just last week.

I think 30’ longer or shorter would be a more appropriate question. Why 24? Just curious.

Ours is 25.8 feet long. A 6 inch sub is good for me.

28′ 8″ by my tape measure. Right sized for older State parks. Big enough for us.

As our grandson grew he was no longer comfortable sleeping in our 26 foot travel trailer. We also felt he needed some privacy at times. We bought a 34 foot trailer with a bunk room, aka his boy cave. It has also served us well as a family vacation unit with extra sleeping space.

Yes, Yes, and Yes. 19′ RoadTrek mobile unit, 29′ Wildcat TT parked unit, and our summer base camp model is an 80 footer!
6″ sub is plenty (unless I want a soggy 1/2 for later).

Just a hair under 20 feet; and we split a foot-long sub!

The more stationary and seasonal home unit is roughly 34 feet. But I used my vote for our 21′ (24′ with the rear cargo basket down) travel trailer. We put a LOT more miles on the small TT, but spend fewer hours living inside it.

Good Ole Americans!

We have to take EVERYTHING with us on EVERY trip that’s why I NEED a 25 foot or longer RV.

I guess that’s why the term “Glamping” has come into the RV world. Apparently very few folks now want to “Go Camping” these days!

STUFF!

Don’t leave home without it!!!

We retired our 2005 37’ Holiday Rambler 5th wheel after 12 years of full timing to an Escapees RV park in Casa Grande, AZ. Now we travel in an Arctic Fox truck camper that measures 27’ from front truck bumper to rear of the truck camper.

28′ and that’s plenty. The bigger the more junk “stuff” to cram in. And that’s two OLD people, two dogs and one Pussycat.

We have a 32ft 5th wheel — I love it and I don’t eat sub sandwiches — avoid eating cheap white bread.

We very much enjoy traveling in our 23’6″ Class A. It is nimble enough that we gave up the towed and if we need, we carry two folding bicycles inside. We can park in most parking lots (except low headroom), and have never found a place we could not fit. The coach has no structural wood and the entire skin is aluminum or fiberglass. As it is front wheel drive, there is a very low floor height so we didn’t even bother with a step until I damaged a knee. It is older than most, but it well supported by the community. It does require some personal accommodation and particularly so with two forty pound dogs that are always with us.

Cortez or GMC? Both were top of the line and not equalled by many of today’s offerings.

We have two travel trailers, a ’98 Layton that is listed as 22′ and an ’01 CrossRoads that is listed at 32′.

Have both a 40’ pusher (will be selling) and class B 22’. The 22’ is much easier to operate and find a camping spot. But have pros and cons.

While our trailer is listed as a 25Y, it is actually 30′ long. “They say” it is built on a 25′ frame, hence the classification as a 25Y. Makes sense to me – NOT!
On the rare occasion that we buy a sub (usually Firehouse), we each get a six-incher.

39’11” Why not call it 40! Sometimes too big, sometimes too small, most times just right.:)

34′ Class A gas – 35′ counting the mirrors and ladder! We don’t eat subs. because they are too healthy or maybe inconvenient to find an outlet.

We live full time in a 36′ DP. The size is just right for us, but it would be nice if it had a second throne.

The dealer said it was a 20 foot Rv. My tape measure said 22 feet. I went to Home Depot and complained about the accuracy of their tape measures. I rode the subway in Chicago for years and never once had a sandwich while down there. However, 2411 feet quite likely is the distance between stops.

40’ w/tag axle 3 slides (1) full wall we live full time in our Newmar Vantana (2014)

14 foot A-frame, 19 feet including the tongue. Perfect for an old solo camper who never used anything but a tent until a year and a half ago. No bathroom or holding tanks to worry about or mess with. Easy to tow, maneuver and back up.

My Travel Trailer is just shy of 30′ from bumper to hitch. We find this is the right size for this couple. We can fit in most State and Nations parks with no trouble

38’6″ Jayco seneca towing a 12′ m/c trailer. Perfect size for us, state and national parks can be a challenge but worth it. Steak sub with cheese, sauce and onions, I feel bad for people who don’t live in the northeast and don’t have a real Italian deli and have to go to a chain sub shop.

13′ Scamp Deluxe. Perfect size for 1 n 2 Sm critters.

We have a 5R. It’s 34′ long, when Hooked up to the truck we are just shy of 50′. Sure it’s size can induce a few white knuckle events especially when going through highly populated areas like Phoenix AZ no matter what time of day it is, and Cross winds are another issue. Not as bad as towing a travel trailer. Finding temporary parking to rest is also getting more difficult especially in the eastern half of the USA, would I do it any other way? Not really because even after all that the experience and enjoyment of being in the middle of nowhere makes up for it. We installed a lot of solar so we are totally off grid 90% of the time we have enough sun to power everything without being plugged i
