From published specs the 38EL is 13'5"s tall. Chesapeake tunnel max is 13'6"s. What the heck🤔

What we both have to do is hook camper up to truck and take to level place and measure. Hooked up to truck camper may be taller or shorter. I need to know. I have took camper under 13ft 6in bridges.

Looks like you get to take the 95 mile bypass.

I'm guessing that the CBBT is probably not the best route for you - unless you like to live dangerously.....

CumminZ,
I know my 2016, 34RL Cedar Creek is 13'6" at the top of the front AC cover. Without the front AC I am right around 13'.

I just crawled on top of my Cedar Creek 32RL and the bedroom A/C is 11 1/2 inches tall. I'll have to measure but I don't think the top of the a/c over the bedroom is the high point. I'll check next time I take a trip and see. There is a rest area on I-40 that's not to far, about a mile as the crow flies.

Once I take delivery of the coach and get it home I will make a good measure of the height. My RAM is DRW with 19.5s so I am sure height may be issue.

Sent you a PM, since I did not want to derail thread.

Be sure when you measure it, that it's like it normally would be towing. If you can find a big parking lot that is fairly level and if it is pitched be sure and go with the pitch.
Before you go pick it up stop off at a truck stop and weigh the truck then on the weigh home weigh the whole rig, this way you'll know how much it all weighs empty. Then on one of your first few trips with all your stuff in it go by and weigh it all over again. This will give YOU the most accurate set of numbers for YOUR RV.

I have no plans to ever weigh my Creek, with the weight that I can carry on my Creek I don't have to worry about overloading it. Besides I'm not ever going be weighed by DOT but I do have to get under bridges and a overpass. I know I'm under 13ft 6in as I have been under that height. But I do need to know the exact height

123, depending on your residence it would be advised to know the load your RV places on your tow vehicle. In NC your truck must have enough tag for the RV load placed on it plus the weight of same vehicle.

According to the USDOT a vehicle used primarily for recreational purposes must not be weighed. They can weigh your truck.

No problem truck, 12,000lb. How is anyone going to know, dot doesn't weigh campers. If dot weighed campers there would be no room for commercial trucks. But anyway this thread is about how tall your camper is. I think my camper is 13ft tall. I just need to know exactly
