Blue Ridge Parkway with an RV? Close call...

Another Blessing through a fellow RVer... One of the highlights of our trip was to be traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville, NC up to northern Virginia. It is well know as one of the most beautiful drives in the country, and we had planned to drive it and camp along the way for multiple days. Since we were so far behind schedule due to our RV swap, we were not going to be able to drive the whole thing, but still planned on doing some of it. I had googled "RVing the Blue Ridge Parkway" and read stories about folks doing it, so figured it was ok. What I didn't catch was that those articles were written by folks with a Class C RV which is not as high and what should have googled was height restrictions on the Blue Ridge. Anyways, as I said we were blessed by intervention through a new friend, who literally laughed when we told him we were going to drive some of the Parkway!!! He then informed us of the reality that a 12' 6" RV could not pass through many places on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Maybe some other day in a different vehicle....
