Strictly a DIY / bespoke item at the moment. We're looking at getting some made so we can containerise our van for travel.

Why mess about swapping wheels or letting air out/in ?
Just change garage door to barn door as previously said then you can drive in and out whenever you feel like
That's exactly what I did when I got my van ,pop top roof so about 7ft .....good inch clearance to roof :D

We can fit a pop top Devon on std suspension and wheels into a 7ft door way with about 2" to spare BUT that is without a roof vent; if I add a roof vent it won't fit :(

Doors are metal powder coated
My mate did them for me he works at garage door firm ......mates rates ie cheap :D
I had a up and over door before but you loose a good foot in height so barn doors are perfect solution :ok

Not all garages are the same. The frames on some barn doors will still prevent access.
