Crossing Mobile Bay
I am looking to cross Mobile Bay from Mobile to Gulf Shores and getting conflicting information on best route to use due to bridges and tunnels. My 5th wheel is 13' 6'' high. Any advice on which route to take as I would think I 10 would be best but not sure?

We always use I-10 on that route to Destin. No clearance issue. The only problem we ever had was one trip when the tunnel was closed due to a collision. Traffic was detoured thur town and was a little tight. I figured if the semis could make it we could too , but it took a while.

We went I-10 from Gulf Shores through Mobile, and I don't remember it being bad. We traveled up to I-10 from Gulf Shores on Baldwin Beach rather than Highway 59. Worked okay, AFAICR.

Thanks for this, but I should of been clearer as we are coming south from Mississippi and RVTW has us avoiding the tunnel which is fine, but then crossing the first part of the bay on #98 then joining I-10 about half-way across the bay. I am not sure why it doesn't want me to take I-10 all the way across or if I am missing something?

You may need to check your preferences in Trip Wizard. It may be set to shortest distance, or auto instead of RV.

We just crossed Mobile Bay about 3 weeks ago traveling from New Orleans to Gulf Shores. We are at 13-5, and had no problem using I-10 the entire way. When using Trip Wizzard, I always turn the "drag route" option on to pick my own route. I also saw the issue with low bridge warning, but using the street view option I decided the warning was for Battleship Way, the road passing under I-10.
