Bridge Heights
We have purchased a new 5th wheel which is 13'5" in height. Is this a concern on any US or Canada roads/highways. Where is the best place to obtain information regarding height restrictions when plann...

mine is 13.7
The Feds (US) have not set a height limit, but most states have a 13' 6" max height. I said MOST, as there are several that have higher maximums.
Since I am sure EVERYONE on here runs within the laws set by individual states, I shall assume you live in one of the "several" state, and only travel in those states :B
I once got refused entry to the Ohio Turnpike for being over-height due to snow on the roof. Most t/p workers would see the snow when you tripped the sensor, just let you on the pike. That guy must have been having a bad day.
The national "standard" is anything lower that 13' 6" must be marked. 13' 6" clearance means 13' 6" will fit.....13' 7" and you may have a problem. 13' 5" should fit under anything NOT marked.
