OK - I took the cover off the Monty to do some remeasuring and figure out why I am so high in the front with the second a/c unit.
13'8" was what I came up with originally and I was determined to solve the mystery.
I measured the Monty with and without the tv. Here are the measurements:
W/O TV - Ground to bottom of nose (by the pin) 63 1/2"
Ground to rear a/c - 12'6".
Ground to MaxxAir Turbo Fan by shower - 12'11"
Ground to Maxxair FanMate in bathroom - 12'11"
GROUND TO TOP OF SECOND A/C - 13'3"
With the TV - Drum Roll................. THE SAME MEASUREMENTS! And maybe 1/2" - 1" less. How can this be?? Surely I couldn't have measured wrong.
Well I don't know what went wrong the first time. My son was helping me before so I guess I'll blame it on him. Just kidding. I do know I've been beating myself up over this for more than a week and for nothing. So I guess that puts me within the same measurements as the rest of you. I feel a lot better about that. I still wish I had gotten the low profile unit but I feel a lot better about 13'3" than 13'8"!!! That's 3" less than the average 13'6", but it still makes me a bit jumpy going under those bridges.
Sorry for the confusion.
One question - Does any of the portable GPS units you put in your vehicle give bridge clearance heights? That would would be a real helpful tool to the RV industry. I'll be the first to buy one. It could really help one's trip planning.
