It is/was shorter than my teardrop. I didn't have any problems towing. I did lift my 4Runner a couple of inches but not because it was shorter than my teardrop.

My latest update to the A/C Hatch was to find a way to seal the A/C unit when it was extended.
I went ot Lowe's and found a 8' length of 1.5" door seal. It has a rubber 1.5" flap that I used to seal around the edge of the A/C/ unit. I also used 1" angled aluminum and cut it the lengths to the height of the A/C and slide them into the side notches for the included window fillers. This allows the A/C to slide out to a certain point, then the seals seal against the sides and no leak.
I will try to update with some photo's.
