This makes more sense then the 'overheight fee' they charge on the ferry. It
cost us $8.50 more because our camper is over 7 feet 6 inches in height.
Duh.......I didn't see that I was using space over the top of the camper that
could be used for some other purpose. How do they justify this? It can't be the
extra weight, I could fill the bed of the pickup with rocks and it would weight
far more. I can understand over length, because I would be using the space of
another vechicle. And why doesn't some one who has a overheight AND over length
vehicle have to pay both fees? That's right they only pay the over length fee no
matter how tall the rig is. Humph!!

Well........ I got that off my chest. '-)
