Just remember how tall your trailer is. We had a detour last month on a trip, I was worried about the traffic and the idiots who seemed to aim for me. My husband pointed out quickly when he saw ahead of us that the bridge was too low - 11' instead of the 12'6" or taller that I needed. I just had the fun of trying to get some people to let me into the left lane to turn left.
Another time, there was a detour with a man who worked for the contractor trying to get everyone to turn left, we had to stop in the intersection to remind him I was taller than the bridge, so he had to have someone in a truck come up to help us where they were working so we wouldn't get stuck. The guy was over 6' tall who kept insisting I turn left.
There are New Englanders who also get a laugh at us in Texas, Louisiana and a few other southern states that shut down the towns when we get sleet or snow or freezing weather. Just remember, down south we have more bridges and overpasses that are opened and not as insulated as up north. The northerners (or Yankees) are sometimes the ones who get into accidents. They also forget about the water current when we have too much rain and how fast it can overturn any vehicle.
