Hi: My Westy Syncro is 6'10 1/4" to the top of the skylight with stock
14 inch steel wheels and Michelin MXL tires. It is easy to measure for
me since I only have 1/4" clearance to get into my garage. I kind of
wish it was under 6'8" so I could get it on the British Columbia ferries
at the cheap rate. I need to let air out of the tires some time and see
if I can make it and still be able to drive it onto a ferry.
