Done that a couple times rolling into rest area at 0200 and not wanting to turn on the lights to update the logbook. But if someone knocks on the door, I'm slipping out of bed and reaching forward and updating the book before I open the door.

On the back of the Wabash trailer im pulling there's a little "extender" maybe 2 inches long that extends slightly past the trailer. Someone said to measure 10 feet from back of trailer to get 40 foot mark. Do I measure from the end of the "extender" or the main part of the trailer. Not sure if you guys have noticed these extenders. I know they're little but know California can be picky

What I'm thinking about is much more than 2 inches.

No clue what you're talking about but NO.
Technically you don't really measure from the back anyway.
That's just to make it easier.
If you measure from the back, only go from where the trailer ends not any attachments such as wings/tails.

Slide it all the way to the front and you should be good then worry about loading it properly to make sure your weight is legal.

A better word may be extenders rather than wings. I attached a pic. You see how it extends slightly passed the main part of the trailer? Do I hook my tape measure to the end of these extenders or the main part of the trailerAttached Files:
