Height is very important. I have it on my dash in US and metric.
I acheived the measurement by using a straight 2X4 with a level attached. One end on the high point, air conditioner in my case. I attached a measuring tape to the off rig end. My helper, wife, read the measurement to the ground.
I added a few inches for clearance.
In the case of a trailer, you will want to insure the tanks are empty. Spring compression can effect height.
Your high point could be the front vent.
