Size of A frame on X213? Need some help.

Hey there, I'm picking up my '12 X213 in two short months and am seriously considering the Andersen No Sway Hitch to pull with. I need a basic measurement of the height of the front A frame, as that is one of the determining factors in selecting the right model hitch.

I can't wait to pick it up. I have reservations at three campgrounds and plans for a bluegrass festival. Bring on the warm weather!!!

Thanks for any help.
Steve

Thanks, but I was thinking the actual size of the steel. Maybe 4" or 5" rectangular tube?

You are going to like this trailer, it tows beautifully and weathered 2 major thunderstorms with no leaks. The auto dump feature on the awning works really well too and it was well tested. I also bring a telescopic broom and small ladder with me as well to sweep the slide out roof before retracting it if I am parked under a tree.....those pine needles are a pain

x213 Question

I was going to ask the x213 owners how the camper ventilates. We are eyeing the X213 and we we concerned about the two side windows adjacent to the dinnette and behind the sofa. The windows are actually two very small windows that crank out. Actually the window that is behind the sofa is used for emergency exit. With these windows open do they actually allow enough air flow to the inside of the camper? How the temp get during the day/ night in the x213? We also noticed that there is a lack of a window on the top bunk in the front area as opposed to other makes and models.

Ventilation is fine in ours. If we are looking for more ventilation (if we are not using the A/C or heat), we just turn on the bathroom fan, it creates a decent draft. Camping with our small children, it is sometimes handy to have that background noise, so that they don't hear us coming in to get a drink or snack in the evening.

Zero ventilation in the top bunk. I wish they had of put a small window on the wall of the upper bunk. If it's cool outside and someone is cuddled up in the top bunk, body heat creates condensation on the walls. Doesn't happen too often, but is one down fall we have found with our unit. All in all we still love our X213.

We dry camped all last year. Ventilation was not a problem. We are usually in a shaded camp site. This year we are having a extended family camping trip with all our relatives at Alice Lake in a group camp site with electricity. We will still pull off the spontaneous weekend trips starting in mid April
