Must be really tough for all the semi drivers that make deliveries every day. They are usually 13'6"
I am guessing the my camper is 13'6" or more but there are probably 12 to 18 inches of breakable stuff on the to of my camper that the semis trailer does not have to worry about.
First of all semis do not have A/Cs, TV antennas, and a satellite dish on top that would cost $1,800 to replace not including installation and the cost of repairs. If a semi ran into a low branch it would probably just snap off the branch without damaging the truck
Secondly I seriously doubt a semi would have any reason to drive into the two campgrounds I had in mind when I started this thread.
I have been to a lot of campsites when I first stared this back in the late 60s and early 70s with a small camper that I have serious doubts about attempt this what I am pulling today. Back in the 70's I took what I thought would be a short break for camping but the short break turn into over 30 years. In the three years since I restarted I made it a point to go to out of the way places, But on my last trip to NY there were two places I was sure I was going to rip something off the top. I was in one of those situations where I did not like what I was seeing ahead of me but there was not much of an option to turn back.
