2014 rockwood roo 23ss height
The specs say height is 9.33. Is this the overall height including AC unit or just to the top of camper. Trying to see if this will fit in my storage or if I need to buy a cover. Delivery 12/13

It should be to the tallest object on the roof, but I would measure it.

i just measured mine for an approx. height.
i'm sure that the 9"3' number ONLY includes the added height of the fridge/freezer vent, NOT the added height of the a/c.
i would add a foot to the 9'3" number just to be safe. it might only be another 6" but i would want some cushion.

Keep in mind if you ride with your radio antenna up or not! That is actually the highest point
Always best to measure it yourself.

I measured our 2015 21SS and found that the air conditioner unit provided another 14 inches above the height of the camper. A total height of 10 feet 8 inches (not counting the radio antenna),

This starts to limit the routes in Cincinnati Ohio with all the train overpasses . Average is about 12 feet. Some higher, but I worry about the lower ones. It's good to keep an eye on the clearance signs when you're on those back roads.

Does "to the top of the radio antenna" refer to the collapsed antenna? If not, does wind resistance not pose a risk of damage to the antenna when extended, regardless of running into overhead obstacles?

I was referring to the top of the radio antenna extended. I have always kept the radio antenna up without any issues. to put it down would mean getting a ladder and a screwdriver every time you traveled. To each their own. I've never has an issue with it but I guess you could always angle it all summer. Keep in mind, Never driver with the TV antenna up.

My response was a question, not criticism. Not owning TT and never had a trailer with an antenna of any kind, I didn't distinguish between radio antenna and TV antenna. I didn't even know there was a separate radio antenna.
I learned something and will try to remember it when we get our planned hybrid TT.

Sorry if I came across the wrong way. Wasn't trying to be mean. I made the comment about the tv antenna in case someone didn't know that they were two different antennas.
The tv antenna raises and lowers from a wind on the inside of the trailer. This should always get put down when traveling. The radio antenna is a separate antenna usually on the roof and is just like the antenna on Some cars and trucks. There is no need to put it down unless you're storing or covering the trailer.
I hope you enjoy your new trailer when you get it!!!!

I didn't know there were two antennae and learned something from your reply.
I, too, wanted to be clear that I did not intend to sound negative. Unfortunately, print lacks tone. The writer doesn't always intend to give the impression gotten by the reader.

That's what the use of Smileys and motions are for. I think we have our intentions straightened out now
