we just returned from our RV holiday on ...Hi there,<br />we just returned from our RV holiday on a C24, max. height 12'00'' (the top of the A/C in the midline of the unit). The official minimal clearance of the tunnels on Iron Mt Road is 12'2'', concerning the second tunnel, which is the lowest. <br />So I built a device to fix in the midline of the roof front of our RV, with a LED torch combined with a laser pointer at about 12'2.5'' which I switched on before entering the first tunnel, and my wife went through the tunnel guiding me with hand signals and taking fotos.<br />The result: the width of the tunnels is no problem, and the tunnels are higher than officially declared (estimated about 13' in the midline).<br />On the other hand, it is not possible to pass the Needles Eye Tunnel without risking severe damage, we did not try it, because it's definitely too narrow. You can visit Needles Eye when you enter the Needles Hwy from the west, heading for Sylvan Lake. There's plenty of space to turn around your RV in front of the tunnel, and it's absolutely worth the trip.<br />Podlaha, July 3,2017Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542618060935906777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-20311083240403550672017-02-07T23:09:16.826-05:002017-02-07T23:09:16.826-05:00No, the clearance is something like 10 feet, maybe...No, the clearance is something like 10 feet, maybe less. You can make it up to the tunnel and turn around however.Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-68997109560233769912017-02-07T17:18:58.312-05:002017-02-07T17:18:58.312-05:00Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Would it be possible to pass through the tunnels that you come across on the Iron Mountain Road?Keeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203959271975785395noreply@blogger.com
