Im looking at a van that states its total length is 18ft, does that mean the length from A frame or the body length of the caravan.It is a Coachman Mirage 440/5 1991.

Thanks

I'd go inclusive of A-Frame.  Mine is 1" under 26ft and this includes the A-Frame. If it says the Total length, then I'd definitely assume it includes the A-Frame, most companies do.  Is it a private ad or trader?  A personal ad might only go off the body.

Coachman (which ours is) usually give two length measurements.  One is the internal length (inside of body)  and the other is shipping length (total length of van, including A-frame and hitch).
