If the 183G is 20', does that mean I need to call it 24' to include the length of the tongue? Thanks! |

No the 20' includes the tongue, the living space is only 17'. ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

I'm sure Marwayne meant 17 feet, not 17 inches. Even in Canada they're not that small  ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

American numeric notation uses a decimal point to separate integers from fractional portions but other parts of the world use a comma or other symbol. He was saying six and 96 thousandths, not six thousand ninety-six meters. I first encountered this while studying German at the Defense Language Institute. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

Well, I've learned something else from this forum. I thought it might be Canadian humor or another typo. So what would it have been if he really meant six thousand meters? ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |
