I would assume by the length of your mh that is a gas engine with spring suspension. If that were true, are you talking about your overall highth of your mh??. Your owners manuel should answer this under "specifications". Hope I have helped. old trucker

Ride height is measured from a point on suspension to a point on frame. I would use as a starting point to keep and eye on suspension wear and even a quick check for unbalanced coach loading.

On an air ride unit its measured from various points on the suspension, on our front it's between the points on the A arms and has nothing to do with the frame. I'd have to look up in the manual for our rears as it's been so long although I'm taking the rig in for an alignment check and they'll check it first.

I have not been concerned with the ride height on my Workhorse W-22 as I use to be with the older Ford chassis's I had with the Newmar coach's that were mounted on the Ford chassis.
I can understand your concern and with the fairly new coach you have, easiest way to measure what could change, is measure at all four wheel locations to the floor seam molding to ground in level parking area.
Any change in future, may need to be looked at.
Both Fords I had the suspension had to be beefed up to support the heavy Newmar box, springs lost there tension and dropped about 3" especially on passenger side which happens to be heavy side on the Newmar coach with slides on driver side.
As for the 03 I have now I have not seen any change in suspension support with present Newmar on the W-22.
