The swamper low look

Just revisiting the comments about car park barriers. This is a 2.05m barrier I went under this morning. Loads of space

You sure it's not 2.50???

All I can say is I ordered and fitted this barrier. But there is always the possibility that I was wrongly informed. I went under another at the weekend, although it was slightly higher, maybe 2.1m. I got swmbo to watch as I went under and it looked like 4 or 5 foot of clearance.

If you had 4ft clearance under a 2.1 barrier then I calculate your van is lowered by 122cm and is roughly 88cm high

I’m just too mentally incapacitated to understand that. Van goes under it, and seems to go under others too, works for me

As they say denial is not just a river in Egypt...


That small grey box on top of my bath tub pop top is the highest point on our medium lowered camper, I reckon if you didn't have your missus with you there might be a thread about "respray or wrap to Starlight Blue Kombi?"

I thought I had best go and measure up and got 2.18m so I was completely wrong. So yes folks I was completely wrong. Not the foggiest where we got 2.05m from as it was a long time ago.

That’s got to be 2.50m surely!!

Ahhh I didn’t read the comments that were made since your post…. Ignore me…. I’m hours behind.

So thanks to @Stay Frosty my van is about 1.98m or just under 2.0m

Looks a similar gap to mine. Thanks for posting.

Assume your van is lowered ?

don't forget those signs don't actually mean they are at the minimum height they state. They are more likely to be slightly higher than the stated height

Ours is down approx 100mm all round .

I put a tape measure against our camper so you can actually see where 2.1 metres comes to above the pop top and solar panel joint box, the barrier photo above looks like the barrier is about 450mm or 18" above the stock van roof height?
Put another way the external front door to an house is typically 2.1 metres high...
