Wilmington NY to White River Jt Vermont
I notice Good Sam Trip Planner shows a low clearance bridge to Chimney Point in Vermont on Highway 9N/22 in New York. Camper is probably 13'6" in height. Is it easier to go north across to Swanton, Ve...

The actual bridge at Chimney Point between New York and Vermont has plenty of clearance. Perhaps the trip planner tool still has data for the old bridge at that location (demolished in 2009), which had a height limit of fourteen feet--or perhaps you're referring to some other bridge. If you do cross here, don't try to continue on Vermont 17 east past Vermont 116, as it traverses the Appalachian Gap between there and route 100, and is quite steep with sharp curves. In wintertime, the gap can be very treacherous indeed with ice and snow.
Crossing in the islands is quite far out of your way. I think a better alternative would be to go via US 4 from Whitehall. I don't recall any particularly low clearances along that road, though I must admit I haven't often needed to pay much attention to such matters.
