Anybody know 23C height with the upper section raised?
 

We're in the process of changing houses - the new place has a driveway extension that wraps around the side of the garage and drops down to an out-of-the-way corner of the back yard. Plans are to put a parking pad / hard shelter for trailer storage at the end of the driveway in back, and a patio-cover style carport off the side of the garage to keep our truck out of the weather.

I'm starting to look at vendors for both, and want to be sure that both are tall enough to clear the roof a/c on our 23C with the upper section raised. The trailer is currently in storage in a location that's not conducive to raising the upper section for measurements, and I can't find a specification for the raised height in any of the HiLo literature.

Oldcar, I don't recall the height of mine, but I built a metal carport for it and used 11' high side tubes. That gives plenty of room for my top (with A/C) when it's raised and I could even pull the trailer out with the top up.

If I were to do it over, I think I'd make the sides 10' high, and I'd still be able to put the top up, but it would be "tight" and I might have to adjust the longitudinal position of the trailer if I were to raise it, so that the A/C would clear the roof crossbars. My trailer is also about 2" higher than stock after having the axle moved forward and down (to give a bit more ground clearance).

The standard roof height when towing our trailers is 6'. I don't think the top goes up more than about 4'.

Thanks Jack - that's exactly the info needed. I need to be able to raise the upper section in the carport for maintenance, and definitely want to have room to raise it when parked next to the garage for loading and unloading before and after trips.
