13.5' is the accepted limit on most highways but some eastern states are lower and western higher. Once you get to secondaries, there are plenty of bridges in the 10' range so you have to watch routes with just about any RV.

A head banger...I have had an 1150 and they are...IMHO, way too tall. Really any TC. You would be at least 13+ feet if not more. Not very safe for a lot of reasons. Are you towing something else? You didn't mention it. They do make vertical racks you could install on the back which might be the better choice.

Is there height restriction on chicles I have never heard of that I guess I could strap them to the back of it

That's what I was thinking. Just over 12' unless I didn't air up the bags to get in in and out of the shop
