Wondering if you have enough clearance to get the camper in the garage? Here are some fairly accurate dimensions to go by. Keep in mind that vehicle heights vary (especially pre-86 Vanagon Campers) depending on age, spring sag, and tire choices, so use these numbers with that in mind.
These are the external dimensions of Buses, Vanagons and Eurovans, with and without pop-top measured with a tape measure. The width is with the mirrors folded in, and the height is with the top closed.
