Subject: Overall Coach Sizes Author: Tim Pagano [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09/ 13/ 03, 11:53am I am having a new building constructed for my equipment and want to make a space for a mid '70 -'80 Wanderlodge. Will 14'clear height handle the unit? What are the outside dimensions of a unit? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Overall Coach Sizes Author: Steve Anderson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 15/ 03, 7:21am I am not sure why but my 79 is a little taller, that is, closer to 12 ft. My garage is 14'6" which allows me to get on top of the coach inside the building. I also prefer the garage width of 14' which allows me to walk around and work on the coach inside.

[> Subject: Re: Overall Coach Sizes Author: Bob Jones [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 15/ 03, 8:38am Federal specs for commercial equipment is 13'-6" high. Coaches cannot exceed this height. Max Federal width is 102" wide. Length for a coach should not exceed 40' in most (if not all) states. Plan your structure to be something just larger than these numbers, and you should be fine.

[> Subject: Re: Overall Coach Sizes Author: Jeff Miller [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 15/ 03, 9:21am I park my FC35 in a 15' x 40' stall (outside dimensions, steel building) and it is just large enough to walk around and operate bin doors and climb the ladder etc. If you want room to work on an open radiator, you might want a couple more feet. Besides, maybe some day you'll buy a 45' coach ;~) I've put several coaches from my '77 FC31 to my '88 FC35 in here with ease. My door is 12'Wx14H', it is tall enough with room to spare, but I wouldn't go narrower than 12' (which is actually more like 11'8" with trim) because mirrors and other items pretty much fill the doorway. You'll the extra to manuever in/out usually unless you really get it straight every time (which would require about 50' of driveway minimum). Again if you want to work on it, a couple feet wider would be helpful, especially on the door side. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
