Subject:Re: Westy height?

I just measured our Westy, and it's 6' 9" or 6'10 to the top of the
skylight.   Its springs are pretty good, so that should be a good
measurement for other westys too.    9' 6" might be a problem for a westy
with roof mounted bicycles, though, and the cherry picker you would need to
put them up there might also have problems...
