There really isn't a set ground clearance, the underside of the housing will sit 14-1/2 inches lower than the top of the mounting flanges as shown in the provided photo. If you measure 14-1/2 inches downward from where you'll mount the steps, you'll know exactly where the underside of the steps will sit in relation to everything else on the RV undercarriage.
