The spec's for the older models 2008-2009 listed the overall height of 11' -7" without the AC. On the 2 models I just measured, (2007-2008) the overall height was 13' - 4" to the top of the AC, (flat level ground).
I just pulled up the info on the new 2010 models and it lists a overall height 11' - 7" to the top of the AC. That is approx 18" lower height??? If it is true, that should improve the handling and mileage factors. Can anyone confirm this info?

Don, I'm going to call the Factory on Monday, 1/5/10, about a couple overall weight issues and I'll ask about this as well. I really think that they are not proofing their brochures and spec sheets. The 2010 online brochure list the height as 11', 7" W/O the AC unit while the spec sheet shows the same height with the AC. I'll post what they tell me.

| I talked to two folks at the factory today about the trailer (29V & others) GVWR on the 2010 brochure and also the height issue on the 28 KS (spec sheet vs 2010 brochure). They said they'd call me back.

| Ok just got off the phone talking to the webguy and there is a typo on the brochure. It is suppose to read W/AC . He will get it changed for the next run of brochures and also wanted to express his thanks to you all for bring this to his attention.

| A few years ago NW changed the tire size for the 28ks from the 245s to 235s. That brought them down about a inch, but that's all I know of.
