How tall is your Jayfeather with A/C?

We have a train bridge near my house that I see trucks constantly getting stuck under. The clearance is 10'3. Will my Jayfeather fit with the A/C? I am scared to attempt it.

Jayco's website says my 2016 Jay Feather 23RLSW is 128" high (10' 8"). My own measurements - and at my parking pad it's hard to get any kind of an accurate measurement - say it's about 9' at the sides; allow a few more inches for the curved roof line, and about a foot for the A/C unit, and next thing you know it's 10' 8". So I have no reason to doubt Jayco's number on that.

If it's a recent model you should be able to find the 'book' value for the height at Jayco's website.

BTW, for me this is one of those things I want to make sure I know when I start towing!!! I think I'm going to do what you see on some trucks, and label my trailer's height on the front, in reverse, so I can read it in the mirror when I have a senior moment and forget. :)

In the meantime, I don't think I'd try that underpass if I were you.

Jayco's product archive at their website says your trailer is 120" high. So to misquote Clint Eastwood, "Do you feel lucky?" :)

3" of clearance feels awfully slim to me, but it's your A/C unit, not mine. Just sayin'...

Yeah that is a little too risky for me. Yikes! Especially if the road is uneven which it is. Think I will go the long way. Thanks for that info!
