29RE front A/C Hi or Low profile?

I'm considering adding an front A/C unit to our CC silverback 29RE. Do any of you have a 5'ver with a standard height A/C unit on the front in lieu of a low profile unit? I'm looking at a Dometic that is 12" tall, verses the low profile units that come in at 8" or 9" tall. The price difference is about $300 plus less for the taller unit. Any input is appreciated.

How tall is the front end? Get much above 13' 6 and you might have some bridge issues.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to measure things up but I think the high point is the rear A/C unit. You've given me hope that I can save several hundred dollars, If I can ask what make and BTU rating do you have?

Ues, we have a standard height unit on the front of our Wildcat Sterling. It was on it when we purchased it and it has not caused any troubles for us yet.
