my newell has a 2 1/2" receiver hitch for pulling a stacker. when at ride height, it is about 6 inches off the ground. the other low point is at mid coach where the aquahot/generator exhaust pipe is. it is 6-8 inches off the ground as well.
so my opinion is that yes, there is a substantial difference between a newell and a tiffin or newmar for ground clearance. in the 20 year and up year old coaches, the newells are quite a large ceiling height. so you couple that with a humongo series 60 engine and that there is a bathroom or closet with a 6 inch step up and the floor is basically resting on the valve cover of the series 60, you have a low rear ground clearance.
my two cents worth
