Hi,
Just wondering if any pop top owners could let me know the height of their on road pop tops collapsed, as Im looking to buy a 16-17 footer, in the near future and my shed roller door open, has a height of 6'10".
Regards
Higgo

Staffy,
I have a Coromal Excel 511 17 footer that is lower than the top of my Troopy.
Can't give you a measurement as I am at work, Troopy couldn't be any higher than 6'4 though.
Have a good one

Hi Higgo.
Just looking at the problem from a different angle.
1: What is the actual height of the shed opening, floor to lintel ?
2: What is the current height between the floor and the bottom of the door skirt when fully open ?
3: What is the height between the floor and the bottom of the roll when fully open ?
4: Is there any obstruction above the roll [ceiling or rafter etc] to prevent the door being raised ?
Although your governed by the finished opening height, its not a hard job to raise the door to gain the full height.
Assuming you can get a couple of inches clearance out of the door and a couple out of deflating the tyres may be the difference between buying the van you want rather than the one you have to.
Cheers.....Lionel.

Something I will investigate further, with the current door height 6'10" van options appear limited.
