hmmm.... some seem to say a rig designed for Over-landing use you might should stick to UNDER 11' better yet closer to 10' max. For Expedition/RVing travel there is usually an Alternate route to take so higher may work fine for that. (Example: bridges in OR have been reported to be where 11' is tight under some bridges)
Visual Candy to keep you wise when RV, Expo or Over-Landing.
. Fun at 11'8" bridge in Durham NC makes you hmmmm https://www.youtube.com/user/yovo68
Thus if thinking Overlanding build you might consider ...
In an LMTV with Electronics/communication box
Total height is 3480mm = 11'5"
for Additional reference the Dump MTV with FOP
total height @ dump's FOP is 2979mm = 9'9". Barely taller than cab.
Both:
. cab height 2845 = 9'4"
. Width total around 2438mm = 8'
It's been said Cargo Deck height is around 5' with support C channel Rail. For 10-11' box including roof racks, Solar Panels, AC, under box pivot frame etc, that makes:
. for a total 10' height that leaves only about 4'6"'? tall camp box After everything else?
. for a total 11' height, that leaves only about a 5'6" tall camp box after everything else ?
