reflection 260rd height with second a/c

[hanniwks]

My 5th wheel is a reflection 150 series 260rd. Grand Designs spec sheet says it's 12 foot tall. And note 5 claims that does not include the second a/c. My question does anyone know how much more does the second a/c add to the height of the 5th wheel. I'm a little wobbly on my feet and climbing up on the roof is not a good choice for me.

Most low profile RV ACs (depending on brand) add about 10". The total height of the trailer though, depends on whether it is level front-to-back when loaded and sitting on the truck. GD's 12' spec is only valid with the trailer level and far too many are towed nose high. A true measurement is the only safe way to go.

BTW - welcome to the forum!

I measured mine with it hitched up and found it to be pretty close to 12' with one ac. I just added a few more inches with the new style of tank vent that is much taller. But yeah, maybe add an inch to the height of the 2nd ac for a safe estimate, IMO.

My 280RS was also 12' tall. We added a second air-conditioner and it brought my height to 13'. I arrived at this new height by subtracting 2" for the roof vent and adding 14" for the air-conditioner.

If I ever were to add an AC, it would be a very low profile one...

That's what we did.

With the bedroom A/C we are at 13'-2"
Reflection 29RS
Last week as we passed under a bridge the wife said "13 Feet two inches" It's a good number to memorize for sure!
We do not have the low profile A/C up front. They were not available so we got what they had.

FWIW, whenever I need a specific engineering dimension/weight/capability etc.. question answered. I call Grand Design. They have always had all of the exact specifications of their product line I have asked about.

Our 230 RL (very similar to the 260RD) has the bedroom A/C and I measured it to be 12'-6" from the ground when hooked up to my '19 Ford F-250 via the Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch.

Thanks to all who responded. I got my grandson the climb up on top and measure it. An yes I'm good for 13 ft 2 inches, any thing under that I will find a different route to take.
