Approximately 40'.

Not sure if you read some of my other posts, but if you travel alot and plan to get off the beaten path, the shorter the better. I just don't know how alot of these guys are getting around in 40' plus rigs and these huge trailers. I found myself in trouble in a number of small intersections and if you tow a car you cannot back up without putting serious stress on the tow bar and front end on the toad. Actually, we ended up doing some damage to the steering box and I never tired to backup more than just a few feet to give me the wiggle room to get out of a jam.

This summer we where in the Loudonville, Oh town square and a Show Hauler w/ 30' plus trailer got all crossed up at a intersection which wasn't even that small.

I was kinda bummed when Lonnie said we would have to go to 29' box to make the floor plan work.
