"I'd like a new AF too, and got all hot to trot last Friday, then I had suspicions they'd bee too tall for my shop.
Saturday I went to the local dealer and climbed up on the roof with a stick of wood, 4' carpenter's level and my tape measure and measured them. YEP, TOO TALL.
Mine used to be 11'11" until I switched to a low profile A/C back in 2018.
It's now 11'7". (reduction of 4")
A new AF on my truck with the normal 13" tall A/C would me 12'6" - 12'7".
The increased height totally rules out a new one with all the upgrades they have compared to my old school 2010 relic."
I suspected that with the domed roof, but hoped they shortened the sides or something. Guess not.
You #'s sound spot on. Back before I unintentionally removed the AC (standard height, not low pro) from the 860, it wouldn't quite get out my 12' opening with the bags aired up. If I let the truck do the Carolina squat, it would just clear.
I'd say not very good on AF's part to blow out of the 12' tall limit, but on second thought, probably very smart. Planned obsolescence...less people that can get them inside, the quicker they go to ____ and rot out = sell more campers!
