NO-GO trails - San Juan NF/Southern Colorado

Hey folks, heading out to SW Colorado in September for our first trip to the area with a truck camper, our Hallmark Guanella on Ram 2500. What are some trails that you've learned first hand were just too narrow, too low of clearance, or just a bit too off camber for a popup truck camper. We've done Black Bear/Imogene in our Land Cruiser before so we're ok with not doing that again, I remember a shelf ledge that was pretty narrow on either Yankee Boy or Governors Basin. Anything else I might need to drop the camper for? Any offshoots from the Alpine Loop I need watch out for? Of course everything is subjective upon one's comfort, risk tolerance etc but I'd still like to hear y'alls thoughts!

A couple pics of our truck camper for attention. Thanks for the help! Any other recommended trails would be appreciated! WE'll be coming from Houston, up through New Mexico. Probably will be coming from Rio Grande NF side as we came up through Durango on 550 last time.

And the cruiser we drove last time we were in the area, which allowed us a lot less concern regarding trail rating and vehicle restrictions.

Don't have Google so cannot see your photos... The hanging ledge on Yankee Boy road broke off over the winter.
