Roof Space on PT40

[Don Bradner]

Thanks. From exterior views where the air conditioners are visible, that
wider-gap between second and third appears standard, although it is often
occupied by a dome or other things. Most of those I would hope I could remove if
necessary.

6 feet is plenty of room, as long as it is typically that on a WB40 also?
Anybody willing to measure theirs?

To give you a visual idea of why I need space, here is a photo of my current
rooftop:

Just saw Tom's post about removing the middle air conditioner. I think that's a
non-starter - I'm looking forward to having 3 instead of 2 and actually being
able to keep cool in 100+ temps!
