We're after a shorter than average poptop van that we can garage.
There's only the 2 of us so we only want up to a 14 footer.
Our plan was the Jayco offroad because we liked the extra height (our AVan Cruiseliner used to bottom-out on the slight rise of our driveway!).
But the Outback is too tall for your standard garage!
We've been house-hunting for over a year, specifically to find somewhere with a garage to house a van.
Well, we've looked outside the square in so many ways with the house that the squares have been all but erased! Things that were once an issue are now firmly in the "couldn't give a hoot" category!!
Maybe it's now time to look outside the square with the van.
A tall van means we can't look at houses with drive through garages and we can't look at houses with a carport in front of the garage, and we have to be wary of gutter height when it comes to access down the side of the house...
Those of you with 12-14' poptops, does yours have a slightly lower travel height that allows parking in a garage?
We currently have a Kia Sorrento 3.6 to tow it. We don't even want to consider canvas options so don't go there. That's not a side of the square we're prepared to erase!! :)
I've checked out the Kimberley Karavan but oo-ee, a bit over our budget, and hubby isn't keen on the TVan (I think it's ok!). I think we could do to about $40,000...new or older models...
What else is out there in poptop land, 12-14', short but with reasonable ride height that we don't scrape going into driveways?
Anything?
Or do we keep house hunting for another year *sigh*

Thanks!


I'll just go back to my real estate websites in the meantime...
