Any clearance issues?

Hey all, I am looking to install a second A/C unit on my Denali 316RES. If I put a standard height Dometic on, the unit will stand 13'2". A Penguin cuts 3" off of that and I can shave another 1 1/2" by going with a Mach 8. I am leaning towards the Mach 8, but am mainly concerned with a height around 13' on the road. Do any of you have similar heights and have you had problems with clearances?

All input appreciated,

Mark

    we are 12'-10" and keep an eye out for anything under 13'-6". Had to reroute in NY state whe we turned on a road that said 12'-2" max. height. A couple in East Texas are under 12'.

    On highways that feature older bridges you could find some bridges with a 13'6" height. My trailer is just over 13' so I am always watching bridge height but have yet to have a problem. I was at a Pilot truck stop getting fuel at the auto islands and I was just a few inches to tall to get under the overhang.

    Mine sits at 12'-10" and have had no problems. Just watch signs, etc for low bridges.
