Actual length?

[rickwagupatrol]

Hi all just measured the van for a new cover an from front to back it comes in at 18'6", which is a bit longer than 17" that i thought it was.
Anyone have any idea how Jayco actually measure vans?

The numbering system jayco quote is the internal cabin length.17 .56.2 is 17ft and so on.hope this helps.the camec cover I bought is a 18-20ft and it fits great.

A little bit unrelated but...............when we updated our OB Hawk for the Expanda a 16-49.3 OB I wanted it to be stored in the shed. So I went onto the Jayco web site and looked up the travel length to make sure it fitted in the shed and all was good.

So after waiting 3.5 months I got the Expanda home and did the usual set up etc. The next day I thought I'd put it in the shed and when backing it in I had a feeling, ''This isn't going to fit'' and I was right it was around 200mm to long Out with the tape and the Expanda travel length was longer than the web site specs.

Luckily I have sliding doors on that end of the shed so it was off with the doors,extend the roof new poles to hang the door runners and problem fixed :juggle:

It could be interesting tomorrow when I pick up the Starcraft....according to Jayco website it will just fit in the driveway

I know what you mean cancan, i have been looking at mine thinking,,,thats longer than 17" for quite some time now.
Running the tape measure over it was definately a suprise thats for sure.
Good luck with the pickup tommorrow.

OK - so there might be some variation with length, but how accurate are their van height measurements?

Might have to get some work done to the carport!
