Height restrictions
does anyone have any recommendations what to use for knowing bridge heights while traveling? Any info will help.

We use a Garmin RV760. It has a built-in clearance database and will do its best, when in RV mode as opposed to car mode, to route you around low clearances. You enter your rig's height, weight and length into the unit.
I also installed the Route-1 database for the US and Canada (lowclearances.com) on the same GPS. I did that as a bit of a backup, and the way I have it set up the GPS will start dinging if we're approaching a bridge that is of concern with respect to our rig's height. I have it set up to also show bridge heights that are not of concern, just because I can. ;-)
Oh, and also installed lowclearances.com on Google Maps so I can do some quick reconnaissance when trip planning.
