Exterior Height Question

According to the specification sheets at B. Brideau website, the exterior height of the early Unicoaches is 11' 6.5".  However, I can't find the exterior height of the later (1994-1996) Unihomes.  Does anyone have that height right off the top of their head?  And do these height figures include or exclude the A/C and other roof (factory) mounted devices? 

As always, thank you.

Updated:  I continued to search the question and found an older ad for a '02 U295 at MOT which said the height was 11' 6.5", or the same as a 1995 U300/280.  That sure surprised me.

Height varied by model among Unihomes.  U225/240's, ORED's, U280/300 had different heights.

My 93, U225 was only 10'8", and included top of AC units, things that matter.  Taller were the CB and stereo antennas but they flex or can be folded or rotated down.  The U280 and U300 are almost a foot taller.

My 1991 U300 is about 12'6" with my canoe on top of it, which adds 2' to the coach height. I measured it veeeery carefully before driving across the country with it. Some of the overpasses are only 13'6", especially on older highways.

Now I would guess that takes a bit of courage to carry on as the overpass becomes closer!  I would be holding my breath.

It was the bridge in Acadia national park that's posted as 10'4" that really tested my courage. I drove up to the bridge and stopped in the middle of the road, climbed up on the roof and measured it, with traffic stopped both directions. I had a couple of feet to spare, but there was no way to turn around and the bridge height sign was after I had already committed to go down that road... so check your map for low bridges before driving your coach in Acadia.
