Hello.

I'm looking for some advice regarding how to pick a cover.

I recently purchased a 2021 Coleman (Dutchman) 214BH.

In looking up possible covers, I'm stumbling over 2 sets of specs.

1st set - (seems to be outer total measurements) - as shown on RVUSA.com
- length - 25.92 ft
- width - 8ft
- height - 10.67 ft

2nd set - (seems to be the body measurements) - as shown on dutchman.com
- length - 23.83 ft
- width - 8ft
- height - 9.75ft

So, if I'm getting a cover - I should use the 'body' measurements from Dutchman.com - - correct?

But, when I'm driving - I should pay attention to the total size measurements for things like "bridge clearance", etc?

Am I thinking correctly?

Thanks...
 
For clearance issues, take no ones word for dimensions, measure it yourself. Why? Because accessories are not included in the measurements, and you are the one responsible for what you hit!!!
