No, I can't. It was OK for a 27-foot Class C with toad, three years ago.

If the Currahee Military Museum and former Camp Currahee are your goals, they are worth visiting, even if you have to park your coach somewhere else and take the toad to see them.

By Google Maps, there are two routes approaching the museum from the south. One is via 17A and East Tugalo Street and crosses over the railroad tracks on a bridge. The other is via Broad Street, under a 13'6" (marked) railroad underpass very near the museum. You probably want to avoid the latter route.

The former Camp Currahee is outside of town. I don't remember any road problems between town and the camp. Use Google Maps to know where you can turn and park without unhooking. We were the only ones there the day we visited. There is a simple memorial to the units that trained there, including the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. I believe you can still hike to the top of Mount Currahee, although no one will be watching to see if you can do it in 15 minutes, as the trainees did. ;-)
