Our last time crossing at Blaine was a long time ago - in the late 90s if I recall - and we had an entertaining time. As we approached the US Customs lanes they had a sign posted that stated there was a 12 foot clearance under the canopies, and that oversize vehicles should use the far right lane. Since our fifth wheel at the time was 13 feet tall I dutifully headed for the far right lane. When I got up to the inspector he yelled at me for being in the truck lane. I politely explained to him that if he could show me how to fit my 13' tall trailer under a 12' awning without damaging either one I would be happy to back up and give it a try. He grumbled and decided he needed to inspect our rig - he actually measured the height of the trailer before letting us continue!
So, I hope they have lanes now that can accomodate the larger rigs that are more than 12 feet tall!
