There are GPS units that will alert you when a low clearance bridge is on your route.
Thank you for taking your time and advising, but the whole idea was not to drive in the direction of a problem to begin with.
The idea was to identify the problem first and then to avoid it...
Sorry for not making it clear from the beginning. - sashalenarvExplorer

It is unlikely that a C from CruiseAmerica is any taller than 12 feet. Basement models with floors 8-12 inches above the chassis framerails are usually still under 11-6. Mine is just under that, I use 12 for comfort.
14 is the legal maximum (some states 13-6) for travel without a permit. Nobody makes a C motorhome that needs oversize vehicle permits. Agents at CruiseAmerica shouldn't be giving customers fllip answers when they don't know the real answer.
But coming out of Brooklyn, you do need to know clearances, because there are low clearance parkways and neighborhood streets that trucks don't belong on.
