Published trailer height

[Cate&Rob]

Did you do it? And if you did...what did it measure?

I did not accomplish this . . . there was always too much else going on when hitching up . . . and, my laser level lives at home.

My 337 says its around 13'2" but it fits under the door in the barn that measures around 13'1" There is a slight incline coming into the barn so I suspect I may be gaining an inch or 2 as the front clears the door the truck is about 2 inches below the floor level. We would have ordered the 2nd AC if I could have been sure it would clear but I figured we could always add it later if we felt it was needed.

Off topic . . . I know . . . but I couldn't resist . . . .

Are the published heights for trailers on the GD website accurate? We will be taking our trailer cross continent before too long and thought I better check clearances on the route. But I neglected to measure our trailer height in the summer and now it is not possible. GD says our 303RLS, with no second A/C is 12'3" high. To those that have measured, is the published number dependable? I should have no issues with a low bridge sign indicating 12'6"?

I carry a height measuring stick like this https://www.amazon.com/Height-Stick-...00DNEHUEO?th=1 Its useful to not only check your trailer, but questionable limbs at camp sites. Shop around as some good deals can be found.

I think I have told this story before on this forum . . . waiting to check into a campground . . . and I watch another 5th wheel owner assemble a PVC tube "T" that drops into a holder on his front bumper. He then proceeds into the campground with a height and width gauge that is going to find any low branches or similar, before trailer contact. If we frequented tight and heavily treed campgrounds . . . I would build on of these.

That's a pretty neat stick Keith! .......The tools that are out there that you just don't know exist until someone tells ya.

There are several threads going back as far as 2019, and maybe further, on measuring the height of trailers. Here's one Height of RV - Grand Design Owners Forums (gdrvowners.com)
