When driving RVs, there are a lot of things that you pay attention to as compared to a car or truck. Knowing the height of you RV is very important when heading out on the road. Most of the time when driving a normal car we take for granted the clearance signs that you see in overpasses and drive-thru restaurants. But this is not the case when navigating an RV. So it is absolutely imperative that you are diligent with the actual height of your RV. While knowing the listed height will give you a good idea of what you are dealing with, make sure that you include anything attached to the roof, such as air conditioning units and satellite dishes.
As a cautionary tale of how things can quickly go wrong, I’ve included a video with someone who neglected to be as careful as they should have. ALWAYS, ALWAYS be careful when pulling into any type on overhang. The person in the video didn’t calculate when pulling into a bank and as you will see, it didn’t turn out well. Make sure you always protect your investment.
