I asked the dealer to measure mine when I was picking it up. I watched a guy hold onto his 'reading' on his pants, get over to the side & drop a tape measure and then declare a height. It was freezing rain at the time. At home I got a buddy and a long board and a good level and a tape and got a decent measurement. Then I added 2" to it and called it a good number. (Came out to 13'-6", more than I'd like.)

Checked with the Col Dept of Trans and they raised the Eisenhower tunnels to 14'2" so I should be good to go. Thank you for the replies everyone. This is our first trailer so this is all new to us.


Where did you get that info? Not saying it is wrong but what I posted was straight from their website. Either way you are good.

I went thru with my 40' Sierra TH a few years ago. Its 13'-2" top of A/c. Went right thru slow lane.

Have fun with the Eisenhower tunnel, I think 11K in elevation.I was in 3rd gear 2500rpm at 3MPG. Made it.

No worries, you'll be fine, haven't torn the roof off my 44' Jayco Recon yet - my trailer is 13'+ tall.
