How much clearance do you have from flat ground when all things are level? Especially those stabilizers? This post made me go measure mine, my lowest point is front axle which is 6" and that is 100% on Ford ( I added a Safe T Plus which is behind the front axle and has 7" clearance. Winnebago put on the hydraulic levelers, but they are 7" clearance on the front, and 8"clearance on the rear. A dip that would hit 6" would have to be very severe and I would consider taking issue with the insurance company of shopping center.
I can relate to Mr. Sunshine, I do worry about the clearance on the front entry door. It is amazing how lucky I have been to just clear above or not direct hit a curb inline.  |
Here's a pic of the freshwater drain pipe hanging down. There's 11" of clearance to the underbody at this spot but that white 1" PVC hangs 2.5" below that, so only 8.5" of clearance; that is why I am going to cut it flush. I measure 13" of clearance to the stabilizer at the back. I also agree with the comment on the entry door - only 7".
I should probably take a pic of the shopping center exit - it wasn't a huge drop, but steep, and very short. It didn't help that I was going straight across into another shopping center, so no turning, -and- it was a busy road; there was oncoming traffic, so I didn't have much time to cross and didn't slow as much (or turn) as I normally would. Maybe a set of rare circumstances, and/or a learning experience for what I need to watch out for. At least I now know how to access my pump / water tank, and it was a $30 fix with some time; could have been worse. While I have everything opened up, I think I will insulate the fresh water tank as a bonus...
