I don't think most full sized trucks with campers on them will be under height for the ferries ?

I'm not sure what the limit is, but I think (think ?) the ferries have a max. height of around 7' feet.

I'm sure someone from Alaska / Washington / of BC Canada can chime in ?

The ones in the puget sound are normally 7'-6" and under for normal rates then there is an over height fee. Not sure what the ones going to to Alaska dictate. My rig just makes it at ~7'-3" at the roof rack.

FYI: I've got a bunch of extra 14ga wire in red and black. Its a thick jacket 41strand wire (likely MTW wire) verse typical 19strand automotive wire. It has good flexibility but factor in the thick jacket. I'll ship out 100' coils for $18 (I can go 50' of ea for that too) if anyone is in need of wire.

Sorry, I'm wrong. I guess I was thinking of the WA ferries. The Alaska Ferries charge by length and width, not height.

This is what the Alaska Ferry website says:

Transporting Vehicles

When transporting a vehicle the cost of a vehicle does not include the driver. Any vehicle that may be driven or towed legally on a highway may be transported on an AMHS ferry. Vehicle fares are determined by the overall length and width of the vehicle. Do not attempt to estimate your vehicle length, you must accurately measure your vehicle to avoid additional charges and the potential for being moved to a later sailing due to size restrictions.

Oversize Vehicles

Vehicles 102-107 inches wide will be charged approximately 125% of the fare listed for the vehicle length. Vehicles over 108 inches wide will be charged approximately 150% of the fare listed for the vehicle length. When transporting a towed trailer or vehicle, the overall connected length is used to determine fares.Do not attempt to estimate your vehicle length. Vehicles must be measured and booked accurately to ensure space availability onboard. Vehicles are subject to measuring at the terminal on date of departure and will be charged for the additional length and/or width if space is available. If no additional space is available for vehicles booked incorrectly, the next available sailing may be reserved.
