How tall is my motorhome?

I have a 1994 Fleetwood Coronado 30 foot long with one AC.

I was wondering what height or clearance I need to be aware of?

Thanks,
mtnman

Get yourself a tape measure and check it. That would be better than any of us guessing at it.

Measuring is the only way to be accurate. Everything from tire height to suspension condition to weight will affect your height.

And you really need to know. I recently had the antenna hit some low overpasses up North. Very scary.

Here is how I did mine. Got on the roof and measured the unmovable high spots, like the AC unit. then the movable high sopts like antennas.
Then measured the roof line to ground and added the totals.
Make sure your rig is up to ride height if your a diesel.

take a straight board, piece of pipe and tape a level to it, or use a 4 ft. level...place on highest part of m/h, hold level and measure to ground....write down the measurement on a piece of clear tape and place at top of your windshield for justin... JUSTIN CASE????

After you measure it convert to meters and post that in you motorhome too. In case you go to Canada you will need that.

I aimed a laser level from our highest point (top of satellite dome) to the wall in our garage---and measured from there. It was exactly what the manufacturer said it should be, but I, like others, recommend you measure your own coach to be real sure.
