Other posters have cautioned against crossing the White Salmon/Hood River bridge with an 'large RV'; I agree. I did cross the bridge in a widebody class C, 116" total. The crossing did require concentration, I must say, (:E) particularly since the surface is 'steel grate'! This is from the Hood River Bridge website:
"This is a very NARROW bridge. The width of a lane from center is 9 feet, 10-3/4 inches. The width of a lane between the edge of the centerline stripe to the face of the bridge guardrail is 9 feet, 4-3/4 inches. Large RVs are advised to cross at Cascade Locks or The Dalles. The height restriction is 14 feet 7 inches."
Crossing at the Dalles or Cascade Locks is a much smarter move!
