Just to add to rclarks comment about the 2x4. I did the same but also used a level on the roof then did the same on the 2x4. This gave me a reading of 12' 10" to the ground. Still well below most bridges.
Watch Gas stations though. A few years back I was pulling into a gas station east of Sacramento CA on I80. I heard my ham radio antenna which is on the cab of my truck (It's quite high - HF model) make a banging noise and stopped immediately. Roof was about 11' 6". About a full foot shorter than my trailer. This was not a very strong structure, so I would have most likely brought it down.
If you do find a low bridge ...don't try what this Semi driver did.
Cheers Bill
