Rooftop ac removal

Yea, there's more videos of that same overpass where trucks and trailers start out tall and come out on the short side!

I'm now 13'4". I'll be watching height a lot more now. First experience I had about 6 weeks ago, bringing home the new 5er, I parked it in my camper usual spot. After I got in place, my neighbor watched me pull in and told me that "thing" on the top of your new camper is in the tree branches. I looked up and sure enough. It was that little rounded television antenna. I ended up climbing up on the roof and cut the tree branches even higher. Nothing damaged the roof or anything, it was only the small twigs touching. But I cut up as high as I could while standing on the roof. I doubled checked the trailer height and made a mental note... do not attempt to go anything under 14 feet and I'll be OK!

There's lots of discussions on these forums about trailer length, but not near as much about trailer height! Who actually looks up anyway?

The video is a good reminder ... yep! Look up!

Did the same thing at my dad's house. I =thought= I had enough clearance but, NOPE; took off one of the mushroom vents and creased the front pop-up vent lid. One 8" scrape on the roof that I taped over as a "just in case". Had some overhanging branches on the shortest route into my house that took 6 months and several calls to Code Enforcement to get resolved, but there's still some "hangers" that would brush the top of my KZ but not do damage, or not for several years, anyway. They were hanging so low that my old 11' Komfort would hit them; city code is a full 13'6".
