I’m considering a 2720 or 2619. I have an obstruction in my garage that may be a deal-breaker. I need to know the height of the rear shell in the closed position for the 2 models mentioned. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I measured my 2001 2619 for you. It was 65 inches from the floor to the top of the back shell side. Allow a little for the domed roof.

I have the lift kit and 15" wheels.

How much the tongue jack is jacked up or down would make a difference, so don't be too precise if you use this.

What about a roof top A/C unit? Could that cause you problems with storing in your garage?

The roof-top A/C should not be an issue. Only the left rear of the TM will have to clear the obstruction. I’ll have to carefully measure the particular trailer I buy, but I think it will fit.

Throughout the years there has been difference AC heights and difference hights do to lift kits and wheel heights. Even within the same year you will find these variances.

I would check the TM web site for the specs for a good starting point. But the AC height is most likely shorter compared to older models. The rooftop height is a little higher on the current model than older models. But some people have added lift kits and taller tires on older models. I would bring a tap measure and 4 foot level if the measurements are close to you garage door height to get actual measurements.

For similar reasons, we need to park our TM "nose in" to the garage, rather than "back in". If the rear shell height is the potential limiting factor, you'll have more clearance in the front. So, that may be something to consider as well.

I never thought of doing it this way. If you have a driveway sloping up the to garage, you could keep the trailer more level entering the garage if you go nose in. Of course, you'd need a trailer mover of some sort.

Yep. We've got a PowerMover type of thing that does the job. Also gets us past the curve in the driveway.
