    Looking around for a T2 Bay project at the moment, but can’t seem to find any info on how high they are, without driving around the country measuring every single one before I stick an e-bay bid in!!!

    The reason – very very limited garage clearance! With the up/over door I currently have about 1.85m. I could get the door changed to a side opener (altough I’d rather spend the cash on the van!) which would give me 2.0m max.

    To make it worse, it needs to sleep 2 adults & 2 kids, so a limited space pop top is essential!

    Any advice, anyone with a van with a poptop they could measure????

    Thanks

  1. There are different roof
    There are different roof configurations to consider. In lowest to highest order (when not camping):
    Van (flat roof) – 2.04m
    pop-top (roof down) – 2.12m
    plastic roof (allows standing inside) – varies, but more than 2.2m

    Other things to consider are: are the tyres standard height, and is the suspensions height standard?

    Looks like a Bay Window won’t fit in your garage 🙁
