I need to know what height is from the ground, to the top of the windshield.
Thanks!

Mine rides right at 14’ high from the top of my radar mount with my radar removed. My guess is the mount is around 6” high so you could guess with nothing on top 13’6”.

Mine is just about 13' to the top of the radar. Subtract about a foot and your at the windshield.

Top of the hardtop or top of the windshield? 12' to the top of the windshield sounds too high.

Do you still need a measurement? I can measure mine, it's in the driveway, but other trailers may vary.

Thanks for the offer RR. I was considering a 282, but height on the trailer might be an issue.
One member guessed 12 at the windshield, but that just seems too high. I would think that would put the hardtop at 13'6". If you can get a measurement and let me know what kind of trailer it sits on, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

As she sits in this picture on 15k Venture, 10'7" to the top of the windshield, 13'2" with the hard top, and 14'2" with the radar. I used to be 14'6", but I adjusted the trailer bunks... These measurements taken just now with a straight edge & 6' level, no guessing.

The hitch height is at 22" in the photo. I drop it down to 16" for towing to gain a little clearance, but have to raise it for ramp breakovers to ease the dragging.20200902_173947.jpg

Beautiful rig. Thank you for the details. 10'7" is more like what I had expected, but unfortunately about 3-4" too tall.
