Hi, I’m Christina from Travels with Ted. In this video, I’m breaking down how to measure your RV’s real height, length, and width, and why the numbers from your RV manufacturer might not tell the full story.
Many RVers assume the specs on their sales brochure are all they need, but those numbers often leave out critical details like rooftop AC units, hitch adjustments, and aftermarket add-ons. I’ll show you exactly how to measure your RV’s dimensions step by step.
We’ll cover:
Why RV height listed by manufacturers can be misleading
How to properly measure your RV’s clearance height, and why you should always add 6 inches
How to measure your RV’s total length, including your tow vehicle or toad if you travel that way
How to measure your RV’s width, including slide-outs for campsite fit
The story of how we learned the hard way by getting stuck in front of a 9-foot clearance bridge

Don’t forget to double-check your RV’s real-world measurements before your next trip—it could save you from an embarrassing and dangerous mistake.
