Hmmm. My crystal ball says 786ft? :mrgreen:

Seriously get a tape measure. Measure from the top of the roof vent to the living space floor on the inside then measure from the floor to the ground and add together. The add a few inches safety factor

I know, I'm being lazy, but my excuse is that I'm away from home for a week and need to book it in for an MOT - the garage is asking if it will fit in their bay.

I found out the hard way the height of our van (non high top) with the roof rack on two weeks ago... I've had a lot of metal bending, holefilling and embarassment. It's 2m 15.
