What is the height

I am setting up my GPS for my new travel trailer a 2023 312BHOK Does anyone know the height to the top of the AC units, I had 12 foot for my old camper, What do you think, I don't have it yet to go measure it.

The Jayco Spec sheet says 11'9", so you are probably good at 12'. I'd still prefer some breathing room and go 12'6". That may be too cautious, but I've watched too many videos of low clearance bridges and gas stations to not have a fear of knocking off my A/C unit and creating an unwanted sunroof in my camper.

x2.
BUT, that's with the unit sitting level. If she's riding nose high, that number will be off. Per the manual, I'm at 13' 3"; I used 13' 6" for the GPS. Agree that you should go at least 12 feet, preferably more.

I know that in my case I think long and hard if the bridge/overpass isn't 14 feet.

I see your trailer height is 13 ft 3 inch (same as mine) so setting your gps at 13 ft 6 inch makes sense. If the tow vehicle is higher in the front that may indicate less lift in the back so it does not sit level https://legalprox.com/why-are-lifted...%20the%20front. I have TorkLift stable load suspension enhancement on the upper overload springs to ensure it rides level when towing.

Best way to be accurate is have it measured while hitched up

... and then once you've determined the measurement height you're comfortable with, print that number with one of those tape printers and stick the tape to the upper driver-side corner on the inside of your windshield. That way the absolute trailer height number is always right in front of you for quick and easy reference.
