Clearance on most parking structures (commercial or public ones, etc.) runs around six and a half feet.  I know, I'm always checking, 'cause people are always confidently asserting that of course my van will fit.  She never does.

I don't know about garages at people's houses.  I've never tried putting my van in my garage, I highly doubt she'd fit.  Of course there's too much junk in there to fit any vehicles anyway, my tenants have completely filled it with other stuff.

:::I looked at that Sportsmobile website and saw this:
:::"Sportsmobile's new Penthouse "G" installed on a Ford RB 8,600 GVWR van
:::and
:::a Sportsmobile Conversion measures 83" high. This will fit into most

:::My '85 Westy is 83-1/2" tall at the skylight, '83" at the luggage
:::carrier.
:::I haven't been able to get it in any of several garages I've tried.  I
:::measured my sister's garage today and the opening is 83", but with the
:::garage door up, the door hangs down to 82", so I could not get in it.

:::My Westy is not level - front springs are a couple of inches higher than
