How Tall is your Bus?

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

How tall is your bus from the ground to where you would scrape the highest point on your bus?  There is a reason for this question which I will share with everyone who responds, but I don't want folks to get off track with more details than what we are looking for. 

It would be nice if you listed the Year, Make and Model of your bus as well as the height in feet and inches to see how they vary across bus types.

I.e.  1983 MCI MC-9 11' 9"

I will tally up the results and publish them at a later date.

Thanks for your support in this research project.

My 1991 Prevost XL Mirage scares the heck out of 13 feet with Winegard Satellite Dome sitting on top, up front.

Please do not include general technical specs for buses.  We have several books and other resources for that already. 

We only need to know the total height of your bus including any roof mounted A/C systems, Domes, Fan covers, Refer covers etc. so we will basically know how low of a bridge you can pass under without scratching up your stuff.  Technical specs will not do us any good for this project.

We need to keep this simple to compile this info easier and to provide the info we need.

86 102a2 is 11 feet 11 inches to the top of my ac. My 65 mc 5 is 10 feet 6 inches with nothing on top.

[Hi yo silver]

The Custom Coach MC9 I used to own was 12' 4" to the top of the sat dome. Dennis

1968 Silver Eagle M01 12'6" to top of AC's. That is if I measured correctly while standing on a ladder!

1966 GM 4107

Bus is just under 11' and AC (tallest point) is just under 1' tall.

So we might probably scrape some paint @12'.

We avoid anything ~13' and take an alternate route.
