Low Clearances have been mentioned a couple of times. For this initial trip, I plan to stay on Interstate and State Roads so I assume the low clearance problem will be greatly diminished? Specs on the coach specify 11’10” (w/AC so let’s go with 12’) exterior height, and from what I’ve Googled, minimum height of a bridge on the Interstate is 16’. Is this a safe assumption or is there a nasty surprise waiting for me?

I’m wondering what kind of mapping tools do you all use? I use GAIA GPS when running trails in my Jeep so I’m guessing there must be a map tool available to help RV’ers create a safe (low bridge free) route when planning trips into previously untraveled areas?

Saw this happen a few years ago. Spent the night at a hotel, got ready to go next morning and just before we got started a U-haul headed for the hotel entrance and I saw him catch the overhang by the front office. Damage to the hotel, damage to the U-haul, damage to what was inside and for the driver a fervent desire to be anywhere else but there, so pay close attention to height. Heck the noise alone woke everybody up.
