At 13'5" I keep an eye out for low tree branches. I look like a drunk driver weaving through some campgrounds and access roads trying to avoid the trees.
13'6" is the posted maximum height on interstate highways in this part of the country.
Interesting the minimum by government regulation is 14 ft.
Non-Overheight loads are limited to 13'6" in most states and you will come across the occasional bridge that only provides that much even on freeways. The goal is 16' minimum but they will allow design exceptions for less. They don't eat up the room by paving overlays. They will mill out under the bridge to maintain the same clearance.
If you are down around 12', there is no issues except in very rare cases which are typically signed very well.
The issue isn't going down the road, it's when you get to the campground. Now it's much more hit and miss what the clearance to tree branches is and they aren't typically labled.
