Drop a PM to Funster Joner8888 he may be able to help. He is near Bridgewater though.

He did some good repairs for me.

I bashed mine on a tree last year

And cracked the fibre glass at the front.

Elite motorhomes near Banbury did a great repair. You can't see that there was ever any damage.

I feel comfortable to recommend them. :thumb::thumb:

Was a newbie, now a Middie.
Very interesting thread, because this is a thingie thats been on my mind for a bit. Does anyone know of a height warning 'beeper', or whatever? (I know, besides the wife screaming "Were going to HIT THAT BRIDGE", making you brake so hard that white van behind on the phone shunts you up the bike rack.) I thought that maybe some enterprising soul had thought of this??

Aren't there SATNAVs with height warnings?

I vaguely remember downloading free info to a laptop satnav

" :Eeek: "

I do find above item is fairly good but not infallible. I was approaching Yveteot France and was confronted by the bridge shown in Google image below.
For some reason I thought 2.98m would go through due to relaxed holiday mode. Stopped in time and blamed brain. I wonder if the oncoming vehicle made it??
I have my height, width and length in metric and imperial on sun-visor.

I went to buy fuel in Pont Leveque. The filling station opposite the Intermarche has low roof. I declined but watched another MH edge through with the passenger looking out of the roof vent. I estimated about 25mm to spare.
