I will affix it to the upper windshield frame under the sun visor (I will have to lower the sun visor to see it, so it will normally be out of sight).

While my coach, being a Class C, is not as tall as most Class As, I have encountered three situations last year where I had to avoid a low bridge. I had to think for a second to remember what the height of the coach was.

Generally, I think standard for interstate overpasses are 13'-6", when you get into towns and such, that is where I find the low bridges; railroad overpasses, etc.

I like the idea of the clearance and weight labels. Unfortunately I did not see this post before I submitted my order for light and slide labels. The order was submitted yesterday morning and I received shipment confirmation about an hour ago. After that order comes in I'll see what else I'd like and submit a second.

Also, regarding clearances. The 13 ft 6 in is the maximum height allowable for a vehicle. Special permits are generally required for vehicles running over 13' 6". During my interstate highway travels the lowest overpass I have encountered is 14' 1" and they had over height detectors along the road to warn folks and direct them to a detour if required. That was a 12 mile, 3 overpass, section of I95 in NC.
