- Executive45Explorer IIII believe the correct height is 12' 10 15/16".....:W......Dennis
- J-RoosterExplorerYour going to have to climb on top of your coach (or have someone else do it), and measure from the top of the roof to the ground curb side. Then measure top of roof to highest object on roof add them together you have the height. I suggest you get a magic marker and write the height on the bottom corner of your drivers windshield that way you won't forget when needed (old truck driver tip).

You can get close to the correct actual measurement with some of the previous suggestions. Here is a method to be sure:
1-Park the MoHo and make it level.
2-Place a long 2x4 across the roof on top of the highest point.
3-Use a level to make sure it is correct at both sides.
4-Measure from the Underside of the 2x4 to the ground.
That is your actual - you may wish to add something for 'clearance'.
Bend-able antenna are not usually included - but a TV antenna in the 'up' position when going under a low bridge can ruin your day and cost big $$$ if you damage the roof as it is pulled over.
JMHO!
And if you have air suspension make sure it's in travel mode aired up. - ArchHoaglandExplorer

That's the correct method that I used.
I then taped a paper with the height on the top left inside corner of my windshield. I gave my self a two inch buffer just for the heck of it. - ArchHoaglandExplorer

I climbed on the roof, found the highest point (antennae, AC's, and such) and ran a tape measure to the ground. Then I added a few inches for safety. I then printed that measurement out with a label maker and stuck it on the inside of the drivers windshield so I'd never forget.
- billyboyExplorerI would say 12' 11"

JMHO! - APRSRVerExplorerGet on the roof and run a tape measure to the ground and eye ball it. I did
- dverstraExplorerIf buying at a dealer, have him pull it in through his 14' door while you are on a ladder. Find the tallest point and measure to the top of the door.
