Overhead Clearence
So just driving our Tiffin 33 around for first time. It shows 13' height, (which I have not yet verified) but was wondering about the accuracy of clearance signs along the road. If the sign says 13'0"...

I work in the field and you are getting a lot of misinformation.
No one is building overpasses without detailed plans and surveyors on site. And they do field verify it was built to plan. A high load hit is a huge hassle.
Even with resurfacing projects, they verify the clearance.
Keep in mind, they build in some fudge factors. They typically list a height that is a few inches lower than reality. Also, the listed height is at the shortest point. Road surfaces crowned meaning there is a high point so water runs to the sides. If you aren't at the crown point, there is more clearance.
