How tall is your truck and camper really?

I thought it would be fun to post a couple of comparison photos. No, my truck isn't lifted, but as you can see, it's really tall compared to the other trucks in the photos. No, I'm not saying taller is better.

Do you have similar pictures?

Ford F350 vs F450. I don't know what year the F350 is.



Chevy vs F450.

On basement models the floor is usually over the wheel wells but still below the bed rail. I dream of a bed that has rails no higher than the wheel wells, which would really open up the floor plan possibilities.

I am a touch under 10'6" - stock height 2WD dually and no AC, but basement BF. Don't want to be any higher....

Not quite up to bed rail height. You can see in this picture through the screen door how high the floor is. The floor is marked by the silver colored metal trim though the screen door just above the white rectangle.

And isn't the floor of the Host TC, over the rails? Cause that means the roof needs to be even taller than the older camper without a basement or one that are just over the wheel wells.

Little over 12' with the airbags on the truck. About 11'-10" with no air in the bags. Will just fit inside my 12' door with the back suspension collapsed.
