The shorter doghouse appears to be on a newer raised chassis MH. Less of the engine protruding into the floor area equals a much shorter doghouse.
I cut a six inch section out of the length of the doghouse. Removed the carpeting on the outside and the sound deadening on the inside. Had to make relief cuts in the sloping walls and the base section to fit everything back together. Held everything with clamps and epoxied matte and cloth on the inside to 'glue' it back together. Finished the doghouse with new sound deadener on the inside, painted the outside and added some carpeting on the top.
Now, much easier to swing your legs around the doghouse. The shortened length didn't seem to bother the mechanic when he replaced the exhaust manifold.
