Height for 17-56-2 OB
- Thread starter Four of us
- Start date
According to the Jayco spec sheet the closed or travel height is 2300mm, whats strange is that the on road version is 2330mm????
I know what you mean. I'm trying to order a new carport and I need to know what size I need to get the van under it. The spec sheet doesn't tell the difference between the on road and outback models and an open and closed size.
I rang Jayco about this question and they never replied! Go and measure one. I came up with about 2700mm for. 16:49-3 OB with roof AC.
I would allow as much height as you can as your plans change. When I ordered the shed I went for 2900mm walls and I reckon I could sneak a 3050mm door under it if pushed. Roof AC adds about 200mm On a pop top
On our 16.49-3 Outback the travel length of the actual expanda was nearlly 300mm longer than the Jayco web site and spec sheet stated.
So the best option is to measure one like others have said

My 17.56-2 OB just fits into my garage with the roof up and roof mounted aircon. I have a 3m x 3m roller door opening and the aircon misses the bottom of the roller by a bees private parts...lol
I don't know if it makes any difference, but my van also has the optional 16" rims. The sidewall may be slightly higher than the standard 15" ones, thus raising it slightly....I dunno.

Im hoping my new O/B 17.56-2 without roof air con will fit into my shed I have a max height of 2.75m.
Has anyone got a measurement with roof closed?

Hi Misso,
According to the 2011 expanda catalouge you should be looking at a Travel Height of 2525mm. I guess thats with the roof down as they call it travel height!
Go onto the Jayco website & you can download the catalouge for yourself, but it sounds like you have 225mm to spare. But dont take my word for it just incase I'm wrong.

If anyone wants measurements, i'll just send my better half around.
When we were buying she stood in the carport & reached up to check the height. When we got to the dealer, she did the same with the van and declared, "Yep, this'll fit through the carport".
On the day we got home, sure enough, van fitted with a few cm's to spare. Creepy (and slightly unscientific)!!

That is a rare gift for a woman indeed - incoming!
She's not ex-real estate, fisheries etc is she?
In the old days she might end up tied to the stake by the village idiots for that sort of talent!

Forgot to mention these measurements are for the outback model with 15 inch rims & standard tyres
