Trailer Height?

We have a 2019 Keystone Bullet Premier model FB19PR and the specs say it is 11 ft high. What's the actual height including A/C when determining if you can get under a bridge or tunnel? Planning to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and wondered if it was possible...

The only way to "know" is to get on the roof and measure the highest point.

Put a 2x4 on the highest point and level it. Have a second person measure from the 2x4 to the ground.

Do this while hitched up as this may increase your heighth.

Your A/C is figured in for the published height. As stated above though you need to check while hooked up because of you are not towing level the height maybe skewed a bit.

Mwalter, give this site a try after you measure the height and then think very, very carefully about your choice of routes. http://www.blueridgeonline.com/Tunnels
Remember, we are a very harsh crowd here. If there are pictures in the news of your rig stuck under one of the many tunnels, we simply won't let you live it down!

Keystone FB19PR

FYI, I took your advice and used my surf casting rod with measuring tape attached to end of the line, climbed up on a ladder and dangled the line over the other side while holding the rod level across the A/C. Overall height was 12'-1".

Avoid the 10 ft 6 inch Bunches Bald tunnel and go really slow through the 11 ft 1 inch Lickstone Ridge tunnel but only after measuring to confirm the actual height while on your truck as mentioned.
