get an atlas like stated. typically highways are fine. remember to check for heights. main problem would be back roads. but highways and interstates are atleast 13'6.
Exactly Truckers Atlas (I have one) is great for major roads. They
don't cover backroads, say like the one that might lead to a campground. The reason is long-haul truckers don't take those and locals would know all the clearances.
You have some options. There is a place that sells a POI "add on" to a GPS that can alert you to underpasses. The down-side is it alerts you based on distance, so that low overpass may be on a side road, not the road you are on (

I have this and it works, and works well.
Then there are RV or trucker GPS's which have this (and sometimes more) built in.
*Garmin is going to sell (in a couple weeks) the RV-760 LMT, which has over-passes, campgrounds, etc, built in.
*Rand has a series (5510, 7710, 7715, 7720, 7725) that also have this, but the older models have a rep for crashing, freezing and dying. Hopefully they fixed this in the newer models.
*Garmin also has Trucker GPSs, that have an RV mode (but no campgrounds, etc). The Dezl series is their current line.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.
