HELP! Low tunnel question

My motorhome is 13 ft. HighTo the top of the air conditioner. I measured it. I got a Trwuckers atlas that lists low tunnels and bridges. The highway I plan on going has one **** tunnel that seems too low. In the atlas it calls out two dimensions. Maximum 13.10, minimum 12.9. I assume that this is the dimension of the tunnel itself. The middle is 13.10 and the right side is 12.9. IS THAT CORRECT?

I don't want to rip off my air conditioner. I should not have waited until the last minute to look at this atlas. I guess I should talk to a trucker.

I use an online program called RV Trip Wizard. It shows the tunnel at Lyle, WA to 13' 3" to me a different route to your destination would be prudent.

I've been reading about quantum wave functions and something called the delayed choice double slit experiment. I don't understand it at all, but my takeaway was you can measure something, and as long as you don't read the measurement you could have a totally different outcome. I guess it's kinda too late, since you read all the measurements already.

I'll try using my will power to make the tunnel a bit taller for you. Let me know if it worked when you get there.

Oh, the dimensions are ft and inches, not fraction of inches. So it's 13 ft 10 inches.

The tunnel is hwy 14 in Washington State. Just outside of Portland Oregon. The first tunnel looks ok. When we Leave Truot lake and go back to hwy 14 going east, there is a tunnel at Lyle Washington that worrying me. If I can't go thru there, then I have to go back west towards Portland, crops the Columbia river on 205 back to Interstate 84 and go east.

does 13.10 mean 13' 10" or 13.1 feet?? if 13.1-feet I would avoid it...way too close for comfort. but, yes, where is the tunnel?

Why not give the location of the tunnel in question?
Someone here may know about it!
