It not the height of the trailer, it is the height over the 2nd axle (the rear axle of the tow vehicle).
Yep, that's the difference between a travel trailer (class 3) and a fifth wheel trailer (class 4). About 2 inches worth of front cap. That makes us the same toll as a 40' (no tag axle) motorhome with a toad. I think we're a little lighter!
I'd still like to know if that was intentional. Not like the turnpike people will ever tell me. No OH turnpike for us again.
By contrast the toll on the WV turnpike is $2 for car and $2.50 for truck + trailer. That I can live with. I wonder how long before they "fix" that!
