height warning device
I would like to know if anyone has used a height warning device and are you satisfied with the device? I am thinking of maybe purchasing a Giraffe G4 unit after wracking our ac shroud with a low hangi...

At 60MPH your rig is moving at 88 feet per SECOND ! Average reaction time is 3/4 second...that's the length of time it takes for your brain to react. Then it's another 3/4 to one second to react to what your brain notices...this means moving your foot off the throttle and putting it on the brake pedal. Now you have to apply the brakes...by the time you've STOPPED your rig from hitting that branch/bridge/whatever, your coach will have traveled more that 300 feet LONGER than a FOOTBALL FIELD.....!!!..:E...save your money, use your eyes.....just sayin....Dennis
If I am on a road going 60MPH I am sure bridges a high enough to not worry about. The OP said it was a branch that caused him grief. We also boondock in out of the way places with similar issues. If you never park in such places, I would not expect you to understand the need. We do, hence the need.
