High-sided vehicle

[size13]

Anybody know at what height something becomes a high-sided vehicle?

Our MH is 3m at the top point above the cab but about 2.5m for the main body, if a bridge were closed to high-sided vehicles, does that include motorhomes?

Can't answer your question, sorry.

But many years ago I was driving an old coach converted to carry a race car with 4 bunks, kitchen etc. It weighed, if my memory is correct about 10 tons fully loaded.

I was asked at the Forth road bridge to 'guide' a motor home over as it was a bit windy.

I suppose the bottom line is if they say no high siders then it's windy and ask yourself if you want to risk it!

Tends to be anything bigger than a small van.

Thanks for the replies, we're off to Scotland this week so was thinking specifically the Forth bridge.

May have found some guidance here...
