Mary's Rock Tunnel, VA?

We are going into Shenandoah Natl Park and wondering about driving thru this tunnel with our Classic 28'.

Any advice?

Thanks, Badkat

No problem. Your trailer will fit with plenty of room to spare. I've towed the entire Skyline and Blue Ridge. Every tunnel has plenty of room for an Airstream trailer. Still I hug the center line going through.

Be more concerned with low hanging tree limbs. I've lost an air conditioner shroud and cracked the AC pan when I was not paying attention.

Add edit: If you are trying to get away from heat and humidity, the southern end of the parkway from the Smokey Mountains to the Virginia border is a lot cooler, because of the higher elevations. You will find that the northern parts get pretty warm during summer, because of the lower elevations.

We're heading to Big Meadows next week, if you're still in the area.

And - as Alan said, no prob with any tunnels on Skyline Drive or Blue Ridge Parkway.
