door height and width 270bh

Anyone know approximate door height from the ground and door width of a 2017 ST SL 270BH?


Trying to find the specs online but only found a reference to a 26inch radius on the door.


Thanks

So they went back to a standard wheel width - They figure out it was a bad design or ? I just bought mine last fall with the wider stance, it rides a lot different than my 2002 KZ

Looks nice, we had a good chuckle walking through the local home store this past month saw nearly the same back splash on display but it was real instead of the wallpaper one in our unit :)

I wish our ST270BH had the bigger kitchen, but it was the bunks or the kitchen for now, the bunks won. The space above the sink/burners needs about 1 more inch and could be so much more useful.

Thanks for the reply, wish I had a shed big enough to hold this rig over the winter, it'd be fun to see how some of the trailer is put together and see what a guy can come up with.

We are going thursday to pickup our 3rd camper, 1st brand new one, a 270. I've found all the specs I can but none state the width, are these trailers a full 8ft or ?

thanks

Mike
