Brad, some friends of ours were traveling through New York on the way to meet us here in Boston. They were pulling a 3400RL exactly like ours. They experienced the low bridge syndrome you mentioned and managed to put their unit under one. They actually got all the way under and out the other side. The bridge was marked 9' 6" on the side, it was arched and had a 11' 6" center. They hit dead center and lost both AC's all roof vents and put a hole in the roof about 4' x 4' where the front AC had been. The initial repair estimate is $17,000 plus. Bye the way, when the front AC came out it also yanked all the wiring out of the roof, which happens to be where it all runs in a 3400. Yep, New York is great.

They got a ticket for driving on a low clearance road and have been informed that they must also pay for any damage to the bridge. They are fulltimers and found that Allsate isn't the folks to be insured with on an RV.
