    That one by Weitsman on the US11 interchange has been hit countless times at 11'7

    Binghamton sucks for trucks if you aren't local to the area that's for sure

    @86scotty your height can be affected if you are loaded or not. Your clearance is affected by road repaving ...

    Yep, all good info. I measured my rig yesterday on flat concrete, air bags full with no trailer attached. About 13'3" at the very tip top of my fairing. It's kind raised at the back edges.

    Anyway, I used a long level, tape measure and my daughter to figure out that my plan will work. I ordered the vent. I'll update when it's in.

    Tree limbs will be your biggest problem, but on the bright side you will have a skylight and shower all in one :D

    Lol, the kind I'm getting is pretty tough. Plus, there's always duct tape.

    You should be the same height regardless. That's what the level valve does.

    Sounds like the first time I encountered one of those low marked bridges along the PA Turnpike. :eek:
