32qbbs owners, need some help finding measurements!

Post by dragynj on 3/21/2010, 10:08 am

All,

Just recently moved across the country and I do not have access to my camper (it's currently 1200 miles away) to verify some measurements. Looking for someone to help me out!! I am getting a parking pad next to the house and want to make sure I am planning correctly.

Looking for -
-Width of RV without slides (thinking it is 8.5', but cant' find my brochure to verify)
- Need a measurement from behind the rear wheel to the kingpin. RV must be behind our fence and I need to make sure I have enough room behind the fence to accomodate.

I'm pretty sure I've planned correctly without the measurements, but the thought of coming up 2' short on this parking pad is causing me some concern! :)

Thanks in advance!

I don't have the same model to help you, but you might want to go bigger than ur current trailer incase you get a larger trailer down the road. Also a wider pad will make it easier to park without having to be perfectly lined up to fit. Even more so if the area is tight.

Yup, Pad is already 12' wide (less 1' over hang on the house) so I'll have 11' to play with. Length is the biggest concern for me, but just wanted to verify width.

I have the same model.

From the back wheel to the nose is 23'

My pad is 17.5' wide and 35' long with a cover. It barely fits under the carport cover with a couple inches of over hang on each end. I can open my slides centered in the middle of the pad.



You'll need about 12-13' for the rear of the camper from the back wheel to the bumper.

You'll need a solid 35' nose to bumper to close the gate unless the nose is higher and can peak over the gate.

11' wide should be enough to back into if your centered before you back.

Thanks Admin! I will have approx 26' of parking pad behind the fence. The tail end of the camper will have to hang over the concrete into the yard. I'd love to pour a bigger pad, but i'm pushing it with this one the way it is. Spending the extra $$ on concrete that won't be used isn't an option.

Thanks again! Workers are out there as we speak grading, should be pouring tomorrow!

Thats the way I poured my concrete, the wheels are on the end of the pad and the tail end of the camper hangs over gravel. I bought the carolina carport wide enough to open the slides and it just does fit under it from nose to bumper with a couple inches of over hang on each end.

I have the gravel level with the back end of the concrete pad so I can back through the carport and pull back forward to adjust if needed. I have about 15' on the back side of the carport to back up to.
