I you live in a state that has a 14' limit you are legal at 13'9. If you only visit states with a 14' maximum you are legal. but in all states there are structures that are less than their maximum stated vehicle height, and we must make sure we do not test their limits.  |
Actually the Feds do set a height limit, but it only applies to commercial traffic and not RVs. However, I certainly want to be as "short" as possible when traveling throughout the states. If you don't think there are that many low overpasses under 13'6" just pick up a Trucker's Atlas and start checking each state. You will be surprised at how many are out there.
