Well good point, but remember that the height of the floor over the pin would also then be lower, how would they adjust that Height? Normal height is level and about 6" over the bed rail height of the tv. They would have to have raised the axle to do that. Yes I have 3 steps not 2 , but your also going to have another step at the door of the bedroom if like mine, which is over your storage area, it's like 3 levels really. It still shows 3 entry steps from the outside, same as mine. I would think if they raised the axles, they would also need 4 steps, if he has the same model then have him measure it. Food for thought, my unit really has 2 steps and the 3rd is really the raised floor at the bathroom level. A normal thread step would measure 8" doing the math I have 2 regular steps 16" then a raised platform another 8" that's 24" plus another raised platform for the bedroom which is another 8", that's 32" from the main floor level. Like I said the height of the pin box must be X being it has to be high enough to hitch up to your TV bed hitch. Hope that helps but it's always best to measure

I also find it hard to believe that FR. Would have ordered a new designed frame to accomendate the small changes they made to the interior design, but then again this is FR.

Also do not believe the published height of the unit, mine measures 12.8 to the highest point, done on level not the 13.0 they stated.

hi frank
not wishing to rain on your parade, i dont think the washing machine will fit.
Imeasured the belly locker this morning
belly locker door height is 61cm
but door is lower than belly locker floor due to the wet flooring section, this goes in by 13cm.
height internally to ally struts is 68cm,
your machine is 67cm height
51.5cm depth
49.5cm wide
even if you put it in at an angle i dont think it would be possible to turn it through the gaps in the ceiling of belly locker.
sorry forgot to measure height of steps to bathroom/bedroom.
but will check next week
Ali
