Garage Door Not Quite High Enough

Thinking back fondly, just a week ago before I installed the air conditioner on the roof of my cargo van. Oh the luxury of being able to pull in to DMS, close the garage door, and work on my 9.5โ€™ high van in blissful coolness and relative cleanliness. Now, unfortunately, the garage door is 7 microns too low to admit Van-illa. (Actually, I think if I let some air out of the tires that it will barely fit. :slight_smile: )

I have actually heard of truckers who find themselves unable to pass under an overpass letting air out of their tires so they can pass and then refilling them once they get back on the road. It is a good thing you didnโ€™t find this out the hard way by actually running into the door.

We have let air out of the tires to get out of parking garageโ€™s in our vans. Every now and then I find one that barely scrapes.

Iโ€™ve been on a tour bus that actually had to let air out of tires to pass through a tunnel. They were use to it.
