Agree that it could be a problem. As automobile drivers, we don't think much about how many bridge overpasses are not even up to the modern height standards... giving semi drivers, many campers, etc a real headache.

As a long-time camper (but no longer), I planned ahead and avoided overpasses that our 5th wheel camper would not go under... ALSO... avoided bridges to cross that were not rated to support our weight. Last couple of years we camped, had to avoid 1, often taken with a lighter 5th wheel, road with a bridge with low weight capacity.

Have you seen the online videos about trucks crashing into that low RR bridge? The railroad recently raised it but not by enough. Around here, we have sensors a mile or so before the low bridges. If a tall truck passes one, it notifies the driver somehow.

Great entry for a demolition derby.

No matter how nice they are...they end up in RV parks.

You’re thinking about it from the wrong perspective…says the guy who full timed in a 40 foot fifth wheel for 8 years. Few RVers live in an RV to go to the RV park…the vast majority do so because they can go to places they want to visit, live life at a normal pace…just in a house they can move to the next cool place…and always have their “stuff” to come home to instead of a hotel room. The only reason to go to the RV park is because that’s where the utility hookups are. There are plenty of campgrounds run by the Corps of Engineers that have tremendous views and full hookups. We averaged 32 bucks a night for 8 years…and that included our more expensive than average site in Fort Myers for y months in the winter. 32 bucks a night is about 950 a month for rent and utilities…its hard to live cheaper than that these days.

Ok I have to chime in this one again. First of all if this 'thing' is real. What a waste of money and for what ?
Where are you going in this damn thing ?
Look at the wheel base length, how tha hell do you navigate it around.
And as I first mentioned, the wind. Well boys and girls if winds blow over semi- tractor trailer containers, well this one looks like it would not take much to blow this damn thing over too. And I mean it too.
So lets go down the road in the damn thing and it is like a full vertical upright wind screen. So how much horsepower does it take to move this damn thing.
Uh, renting something more 'realistic' would be better.
So, think about it hoggers, is this a joke or what ?
Kepp'n it real tha Bruce.

I'm well acquainted with it all. My wife caught the bug about 10 years ago...

I just solved it this way...I offered to rent any RV she wanted as a test.
We would go full boogie...I would certainly go all in on her say so...I even offered to do the driving (joke...we both know I'll be doing the driving)...

OR...I told her...

Pick a place/s you want to go...I'll rent a top grade car...put us up at a 5 star place...fly first class to get there...food...shopping...anything...because I believe the math would still favor this way.

Take your pick I said....and she did...without hesitation...no RV.

I've been in some stellar RV's...but...nah.

Well then I'm impressed for sure. I'm still doubtful it ever sees highway use, unless it collapses below 13' 6"

I think it’s exactly what it’s intended to be: an unrealistic, impractical “vehicle” designed to attract attention😂
