Easement Clearance Issues.
Hello,
New to the these forums. They were recommended from others I belong to (MDShooters.com). I have done a search but I'm not coming up with anything.
My question is in regards to a clearance issue I have with an easement on our property. We tried to get a Class C Thor Four Winds 31E down it and the house battery box (tray) and/or Generator exhaust is dragging. The easement is a down grade slope of ~10 degrees (Sorry, I haven't taken exact measurements). Given the breakover angle of the unit it shouldn't be a problem but is. The bottom the battery box have, what appear to be, fins coming down. I would assume for heat dissipation. The exhaust come down ~3 or 4 inches then is bent leading to a bracket hanger again ~3 or 4 inches from the bottom side of the unit.
My solution would be to build some ramps to increase the ground clearance thereby increasing the breakover angle of the unit. The ramps would be made from pressure treated 2x10's. I would cut a 45 degree angle on the face of each "step" to allow the wheel to roll better. I believe I only need ~2 steps to clear the top of the hill. I would get the front tires started down and put the ramps at the back tires to allow the unit to clear. Then then same coming back up the hill.
If anyone has a better option please let me know.
