Ok, so I added a second AC unit to my 5th wheel trailer. I measured the height and was amazed that I'm at 13'2". So, now I wonder if I'm too high. My some of my trips, I somewhat remember seeing signs with warnings of 13'6". Does anyone know what the height of a semi and trailer is for comparison? Do you think my height is ok? Thanks Anthony
Maximum height for a standard semi-trailer and/or tractor is 13' 6" so you are 4" under that. It is a tall trailer but not that much taller than you had before the A/C unit addition, I imagine. You are legal.

Ouch, I guess I better not pull my trailer too far east! Our Raptor measures 13'10" to the top of the AC, but out here in the west we are allowed 14'....
In Iowa I think you have to get a permit to move something over 13'6". Mine measures 13'3" so I am ok under most overpasses. Just have to watch those low hanging tree branches and bridges in small towns.
