Hey guys got a quick question. How tall is the MEP-006A mounted on a M200A1 w/standard 9.00x20's? Trying to figure out a home for this unit. Thinking the garage may be an option. If too tall, airing down the tires may be needed. I checked GL's current auctions for dimensions and came up with the following:

Length.....Width.....Height

162".........93"..........80"
162".........93"..........85"
162".........93"..........98"

Hmm which one is correct? Is this unit taller than a MEP-005A?
Please advise

I am not certain, but I think the MEP-006a had multiple revisions of the housing it was mounted in over the years, this might explain some of the variations in height measurement.

LOL, I am running out of room. I could put this thing in the backyard but I want to have quick access to her if I need it. As it is, if I put it in the backyard I'd have to move 4 deuces out into the street...not really an option. I just did a little research and came to the conclusion that I'll be OK. Turns out a MEP-006A mounted on a M200A1 trailer is know as a PU-650B/G. Looking at a page out of TM 5-6115-648-14&P. It states the following dimensions:
Overall Length Overall.................. 166 3/8 inches (423.6 centimeters)
Width Overall................................ 95 1/2 inches (242.6 centimeters)
Height Net.................................... 85 inches (216 centimeters)
Weight (empty)..............................4400 lb. (199.57 Kg.)
Net Weight (filled)......................... T.B.S.
Shipping Weight............................ 7800 lb. (353.8 Kg.)
Cubage..........................................836.76 cubic feet (23.6 cubic meters

My garage door opening is 83 inches:neutral: Looks like I'll be airing some tires down8)
