Hey all,
I'm booked for a White Rim Road run with:
- Gooseberry A campsite (first night)
- Hardscrabble B campsite (second night)
My setup:
- 2022 F-350 SRW 4x4
- Northstar Arrow camper
- Total height: ~11.5 ft, length ~22 ft
Here’s the dilemma:
I got the permits, read this great piece (Truck Camper Adventure article) that said it’s doable but tight. But only recently saw the NPS vehicle height advisory: 9.5 ft max 🤦♂️
Not afraid of the switchbacks, and I’m experienced with narrow shelf roads – but I’m worried about:
- Rock overhangs
- Narrow sections near the Green River
- Potential damage or getting wedged
I’m considering these options:
- Just do the drive to Gooseberry A and return
- Try the full route (clockwise), including Hardscrabble B
- Skip the whole thing and salvage my dignity
Anyone here run it with a tall rig like mine? Did you hit overhangs? Regret it? Any tips to avoid disaster?
Would love real-world input, especially if you've done it with a slide-in camper or long-bed truck.
Thanks!
