The other day my DF and I were talking about changing up the carpet runners for our 2019 27’ Globetrotter FBT. What were the dimensions again? I realized I’ve probably measured them several times but never wrote them down.
I decided it I was going to go out in below zero temps to do this, I might as well measure the floor and counter and document them.
I put them on two sheets because it got “too busy” to call out the width and length on a single one. Anyway, I thought I’d share them with fellow GT owners. PFD has both pages.

Jeff, you are so creative and helpful.
Thanks for braving the cold (did you compensate for expansion and contraction caused by the temperature changes )and not only measuring but documenting the measurements. As you mentioned we often measure the same thing over and over again!

Thank you!
Ha! No fancy technology was used in this exercise
I’ll admit I did take photos of each measurement so I didn’t have to write them down in the below zero temps. By the time I was done I couldn’t feel my fingers - must be getting old!
This is amazing! I’ve been looking for something similar for my international. Until I can verify it, I am going to consider them to be identical. When I CAN verify it, I make one for the Int.

When you all put carpet runners in your trailers, do you have one runner that runs down the whole length of the trailer or do you break it up into sections?
It never occurred to me to put a carpet inside but now that you mention it...

We ended up with two runners. One was the longest available and the other shorter to fit. Bought them at Lowe's. We used carpet tape on the backside to join them together and it works pretty well.
They can be bought on line to the exact length but I can't remember the name of the website.

Thanks, that looks nice.
