12ft Door

Were in the market for a 5er and trying to find ones that will clear a 12 foot door. the only one found so far is Grand design. Anyone no of any others.
  • Be sure you check the height hooked up to your truck. Most height specs are with the trailer level. All the new trucks are taller than the old ones and the trailer sits a little nose high. Also be sure that your approach to the dooe is level and not sloped up as that will also affect your height.

    Rather than settle for a 5th wheel under 12' could the door height be increased by reframing door and installing a new door? Especially if you have found the RV that you really like. Just a thought.
  • You should be able to find a number of mid-height FWs, that are less than 12' tall. Be sure to measure the door opening, as a 12' door, may have an opening of only 11'8"- 11'10".
