    I hope I am posting this question in the right forum area. My husband and I have decided we want to buy a flat top sleeper (with no wind fairing) for towing our large 5th wheel camper. Not sure yet if we are going to buy a single or tandem axle truck. Due to the height of the 18-wheeler cabs we know we are going to need to raise the garage door height to park it inside. I would like to ask how many inches from the ground to the highest part of the top of the cabs are. We want to get one of the shorter cabs. He will have to shorten the stacks to match the cab height. I have read where Volvo VN610's are 10'10" high. We really don't want a garage door higher than 12 feet. What about the cab height of others like Peterbilt 379 and 387's, Freightliners, White, and the rest of the low and flat top sleepers? Thank you.

    Most if not all flat tops will be under 12'. I only have a 12' door in my garage and had a double bunk aerocab aerodyne KW and it fit. I would dump the air in the suspension before pulling in but would have probably fit aired up. May want to make it a grass burner to keep the soot off the front of the camper.
