13'5 5th wheel vs 13'6 bridges?
I'm looking at a new Grand Design or Montana Mid-Bunk 5th wheel. Both are listed at 13'5 height. Several places I go have 13'6 bridges. How do they determine the height? Anybody been under 13'6 bridge...

First important thing, measure your trailer on a level surface with the raider hooked up. My high point is not the AC the factory installed, but the vent cover in the bathroom I installed.
Second important thing is where the height of the low bridge or tunnel is measured from. What isn’t known is it’s accuracy.
Third and this applies mostly for tunnels is where it’s low point is. Many tunnels in our area point to the low spot which is usually the curved part towards the side. I also know the height of my side as well and keep both written down in the center console with my last numbers when weighed
