Height on front Full Size AC

[dennych1]

Thinking about ordering a BH 3160 and since they install a full size + hight AC unit in the bedroom has anybody had problems with this with low branches and such.
Thanks Dennis

I think that if you order the second AC up front it will be a low profile.

The heartland sales rep on the phone said it was a full profile 15k now. I spoke to him yesterday.

Insist on a low profile 13.5 BTU low profile Penguin and it will have factory height specs that I assume will meet all state highway guidelines.

I'm sure lots of us have had problems with low hanging branches. But trees don't discriminate against A/C units and are just as likely to damage the skylights, vents, ladder, or the rubber roof itself. If you have low-hanging branches, you probably ought to get them trimmed.

Hmm on the BC it is a full profile.

I don't know about the 3160 but my 3585 came with the full profile and the height is quoted as 12' 11 1/2".

On our Classic 06, with the low profile, I am at 13'3". 13'6" is the legal max.

Bsummit I would think your unit is higher then 12'11" . I think I would measure it. Sales rep said you cant order a low profile from factory you have to get it from dealer.

Suggest you measure the height of your rig on level ground while hitched to the tow vehicle. The front A/C is typically the highest point. If you rest a 2x4 across the top of the A/C cover, you can drop a tape measure to an assistant on the ground and get a reading that is accurate. Ours turned out to be 13'1".

I set the GPS to 13'3" to allow a couple of extra inches for resurfacing of the road under a low clearance where they may neglect to update the signs. I don't know how likely it would be to run into a situation like that, but I'm not real interested in finding out.

The 12'11 1/2" is what the spec's said. But I have not put a tape on. I guess I should do that.

Mine is right at 13', but I like 13' 6" for a minimum as I don't really trust the accuracy of the signage.
