This morning I got to crawl under a UFO and was supprised how low the exhaust pipes - header pipes - are hanging down under the coach. They are even lower than the jack feet.
I feel that it wouldn't be long before one dammaged them if one ever drove off a paved - smooth - highway.
Just my opinion.
I did take pictures but need help to post them for viewing.

The "DA" is where the lowest point between the bumper and the bottom of the tire is shown as an angle. The UFO's departure angle is greater than most RDP chassis that you will typically see on the lot by at least 1?.
So there you go!

Have you ever hit anything with yours?
Tall Speed bumps come to mind.
Thanks, ED

I haven't hit anything that I know of. I haven't gone over any large bumps yet either.

Is that the 'angle of the dangle' I have heard the big guys refer to?

I would think so if you "hit bottom". Your wallet would suck right up.
