Hi all, I have to get my van in the garage for winter while I fix her up but since putting a pop top on she wont fit through the doors, I need to loose about 4 inches, just wondering if i can temporarily lower the van, push her into the garage then put her back up, ie remove the springs or something??

Set of wheels with no tyres fitted.

let the tyres down and get four fat people to sit in it?

take the garage door off.....get her in....rehang door?

if its an op and over door, this should get you the clearance you need!

faid not, its a very old wooden garage with big heavy doors, and a big heavy frame, i like the put wheels with no tyres on idea, anyone got some old messed up wheels i can borrow, in the norwich area?? any other sugestions?

I once did that in reverse, I took the engine out of a Landrover and went to push it out of the garage and the roof hit the door
Had to take the roof of it in the end to get it out

Dig the floor down a foot!

Seriously now, how about remove the wheels and put the camper on 4 trolley jacks then with 3 strong mates drag and push her in.

I once remember deflating a vans tyres to get it into our workshop for signwriting, we had to round up a few people to weigh it down some more but it worked in the end.
