You should have no problem unless you have a slope just in front of the garage door. Even then, it would have to be a steep slope.. Factory height is 79" (6'7").

To answer your question: Your A/C unit can be removed but it would be a real chore. To cover the hole, would only be a matter of installing a 14"x14" (standard) roof vent. It would devalue the camper (a lot). Besides, it's probably not necessary.


Having said that, some owners have installed a "Lift kit" and 15" wheels on their TMs which can increase the height some. Most lift kits are 2.5" and the tires will add 1/2". In that case, total height would be 6'10". A few owners have installed even taller lift kits but they are rare.

Here is what to look for on the rear axle. That square, 13" long, black tube is a 2.5" lift on my older 2004 2720SL. At the time, my garage door was 6'10" and my wife had to push the door up a little to keep it from scraping on the A/C unit.
