Low overpasses, etc.

You asked about measurements that you should take. You need to KNOW how high your RV is and also the weight of the RV and the total weight including the toad. Yes, you need the total weight because total weight is what you need for bridge restrictions.

And post those figures on your dash for immediate reference.

Trucker's atlas and Copilot RV app on a tablet. Keeps us away from places that TomTom says to go.

if it looks low? STOP and double check.

While we use a GPS, we never trust them completely. We check each route with a truckers road atlas. The atlas shows low overpasses and bridges with weight limits. You can also get this information online.

We plan our fuel stops by looking at any questionable places with Google earth. We do the same with the RV parks and will often call them to ask about access. We read the reviews on rvreviews.com to see if there is anything we should knnow about the park.

Yes, we plan but it gives us peace of mind.

Use a GPS with an RV map option, it will route you around known obstacles like low bridges, too-tight roads, etc.
