Alaskan Marine Highway (Ferries)

Has anyone trailered (sp?) their Montana on the Alaskan Marine Highway (specifically anywhere between Prince Rupert and Juneau)? Our Montana 3120RL (2019) is listed with 13'4" height, and some of the ferries vessel vehicle restrictions (see link) list the height limitation as 13'6". If the height of the ferry entrance/exit/ceilings is really 13'6", then it seems like it is a **REALLY** tight fit!! Comments or relevent experience??? Thanks in Advance!!

No personal experience here. I've seen pix of full size motor home driving onto the ferries. I imagine you've come across this in you search. http://alaskaferryvacations.com/Ferry_RVTravel.htm. Make sure your measurements are good and you'll be good to go.

We were on the Hanes/Skagway Ferry and our only issue was our length, it loads from the side, no drive on one end and off the other. Because we were just shy of 60' overall, we had to back down the ramp into the ferry because we wouldn't have been able to turn around to drive off.
The little Open Air Ferry crossing the Yukon River to the Top of the World Highway was no problem since no roof, but could only carry 3 or 4 units at a time.
Just take your time and watch out for Construction Trucks.
Enjoy
