How tall is that giddy up?

13'

Not bad. Looks taller sitting on the flatbed and the solar up top. Our old AF was like 12’-2” sitting in a pickup bed with a full size ( not low pro) AC.

Awesome looking setup btw!

Thanks. The A/C unit is tucked up about 1/2" under the glass of the solar panel above it, which means that the solar only adds an inch or so to overall height (frames, etc accounted for). It looks deceiving because it raises the entire roof to that height - instead of just sticking up like the AC unit - but also serves the purpose of pushing limbs, etc up and over instead of letting them collide with everything on the roof.

The flatbed added a bit more height than we planned for. They told us it would be 2", but it turned out to be more like 6-8". I don't have an exact measurement for the flatbed itself because we made other changes at the same time. Total height is right at 13' now, and before was around 12'5". And that measurement was taken before filling the toolboxes, but there probably isn't enough weight there to settle it much further. I don't actually mind the additional height because it means the toolboxes under the bed aren't a low point that I need to be concerned with - the rear boxes are just under 21" off the ground with the camper loaded.

Edit: now that everything is loaded, measured it at 155", so 12'11".
