[VAC] Re: Land Yacht vs Land Yacht International



for many years, the length the name was assigned, varied it seemed,
about a foot every year.  iow, the Sovereign was either a 30 or a 31, the Safari 
was either a 22 or a 23, the Tradewind...  well, you get the picture.  These lengths
for each year were on a website somewhere 4 or 5 yrs ago.  Do not remember now,
where that site was.  perhaps someone could look around.  also, remember,
that length included the 4? feet of tongue and 1? foot of bumper.  That living
space quickly shortens to much less when those numbers are removed.  A Sovereign
becomes a 25' trailer.  Your Safari becomes an 18 footer and so on.

Although the length numbers changed each year from an odd to an even, I
am not all that sure that the trailer actually, in fact, changed length.

Anyone know the technicals of this?
