You write above. Question: Is this with the air bags fully enflated or
empty? The height changes. I can easily/honestly tell you from the frame
holes to the top of the coach it is exactly 90 inches, this dimension will
not vary in the measurements.
If the frame holes in the front are + or - 1/4 inch the correct measurement
from the ground in front to the center of the frame hole (measurement) is
13 and 1/2 inches and the rear is 11 1/2 inches. Add the front correct
ride height to the 90 inches and you have from the ground in front 103 and
1/2 inches and the rear is 101 and 1/2 inches, both from the ground to the
top without inclusion of air or pods or anything else that may have been
added to the top. The rear of the coach will always ride just a bit lower
than the front. GMC DESIGN. Chuck

I'm a bit confused how you put Al's question and my input together, but.......

Where did the 90" number come from? Best check again my friend. G'nite.

go, go, go

I was just over to a friends SOB parking and he had 2 inches on either
side. But when he pulled forward, he was able to open the side door onto
the patio so that he could get in and out of the coach just fine.... He
said it made a great spare bedroom, it was almost attached to the house.....

Yours could open into the garage.... no other MH but the GMC could get in
threre.

you can do this.

interesting you should say that, I read his tires and told him they were 10
years old........ He said, " I wondered about that I had a flat last month.
...... I said" might be new tire time.
