I am finding a LOT of adjustments to make between driving a trailer (my old one at least) and a motorhome.
One is that the added height of my motorhome does not seem to be taken into account by the country tree trimmers.
On the maiden voyage from the dealer to my home (sold home that is) I slightly scratched the surface high up on one side from overhanging branches when entering the county road leading to my small housing community. Now I have to take that road from the opposite direction, meaning an additional 10 miles to get to the main highway.
What do you motorhome folk do to prevent and minimize the effect of overhanging branches on a small country lane? Other than "don't go there", as I am assuming instances where you either have to go there, or get caught by surprise. I sure was caught by surprise just a quarter of a mile from home.
Also if you get scratches from tree branches, what is the best way to remove those scratches? I think they do come off because I found just rubbing my finger will reduce the scratch. Can they be lightly buffed out?
I sure do not want to be restricted to interstate only driving.
My trailer never had this problem as it was not nearly the height of my new coach.
