Well, congratulations then!
Around here, when road construction barriers are put up on city streets, it's tricky getting a
regular-width vehicle through sometimes. I can't even *imagine* trying to drive a moving truck through construction. And with a 50 foot drop on the other side? Omg!
Some years ago, I borrowed my brother's truck with pop-up camper on it, and spent a few weeks camping in the Colorado Rockies. I loved that camper so much, because when it was 'popped-up', there were screen 'windows' all around - so much so, that it almost felt as if one were outside in the cool air, instead of being in snug, cozy comfort inside, drinking coffee and reading, after a long day of hiking on the trails.
But pop-up campers are wide up top, and driving that thing through some of the narrow mountain roads produced in me a state of high anxiety. I just knew some of those rock overhangs would tear the camper right off if I drove just an inch too close. Grit teeth, hold breath, hope for the best.
