>A Westy will fit in a standard garage, with a roll-up door, provided the >door is rolled up all the way so the max height of the standard opening 84" or 7ft is not compromised by the door hardware. My wife measured the height of about a dozen garage doors in Cincinnati last weekend and I have had landlords measure a few more for me. They are all coming in at 77-78". This is the height of the opening in the front of the garage, so regardless of how the door was installed the van would not fit. I guess garage door height standards might be regional or perhaps the homes I have been looking at predate the 84" standard. Good advice about how the door is mounted though, I'll take that into consideration. As for deflating the tires. My van is about 82 inches tall and the distance from the bottom of the tires to the rim is about 4 inches. So even if I completely deflated the tires I still wouldn't fit in most garages. Ugh
