My 5vr is 13'4" at top of A/C Unit
For 7 yrs we traveled FT using secondary/backroads.
Many low height but they were well marked long before so you could bypass/take alt. route without issues
Only encountered 3 low height bridges/overpasses that were not marked until we got to them.
2 of them it was very obvious that we would not fit even if there had not been any signage. Turn around and use different route. No biggie
The 3rd one.......
That one didn't give us much of a choice and height was only posted ON the overpass.
We had come over the overpass only to find that the road circled right around and merged with the road that went under it.
11'8" posted and no where to go. You could see all the damaged concrete from run ins.
Stopped dead in the lane. Couldn't turn left due to high concrete medium separating the roadway and backing up was limited plus there was a line of cars behind us.
Got out to horns honking..walked back and was going to ask folks to slip by us then attempt to back up to a wider area and get out of the way.
About 5 vehicles back a old guy got out of his truck and YELLED.......you'll be fine, sign is wrong, they redid roadway lowering it couple years ago and never redid height.
So we very slowly proceeded forward with door open, standing up and idling thru
As Maxwell Smart would say.......Missed it by_____________that much !
Actually had more issues within CGs then out on the roadways traveling.
