DRV height

I have a fan forward of my Bedroom AC unit that has a FantasticBreeze cover. May or may not be the highest point. Bottom line measure from the HIGHEST point.

I would NOT want to let my tires air down enough to get 3" more clearance ... That is a fast way to possibly damage sidewall from all that weight... even if its just a short distance... J.M.O.

Letting air out may work, but would get tiresome, if in/out, fairly often. Maybe you could cut out 3"s or so from header, just 3 ft wide, enough to clear AC. You could add enforcing board to header, so not to weaken.

You might get 2-3 inches from tires. But don't want to leave it set with tires that soft.
Might think about building something like the converter used to pull second of a pair of semi trailers. For walking speed/short distance a plate with hole would work for 5th wheel.
Back in until close to hit, allowing for lift as unload TV. Unhook, push dolly under pin, and lower. Hook dolly to bumper hitch, lift legs, back on in. Put weight on legs before unhook.

I like the great Outdoors and the one that has 13-1 height price was lowered because of the height. They want 15,000 to raise the roof.

I came up with 13-3 ,but was wondering if I could get 3 inches lower bye letting enough air out of the tires before backing under.

For the most accurate measurement check both sides of trailer, and take the average. And be sure the tape is plumb when checking
And if the tape says you are close, check the slope of ground before you decide it will fit. If your high point is in front of axles, and behind TV axle, floor inside level, but the ground slopes down towards the building, the TV will be above floor height when high point gets to header.

Hi Dan!!!

I have 3” risers and I an exactly 13’-4”

We have a 2015, same model. Your trailer is at least 13' 2", pretty much guaranty that's the minimum. We had 2" risers put on two years after getting our trailer due to the difference in bed height of our new (than) truck. Our trailer sits closer to 13" 4" now. DON'T guess, like others have said take a straight edge and level and measure to be sure, you don't want to find out the hard way! :S

This is how it should be done. BTW this is NOT our trailer!
