We looked at a couple of Pennine Pullmans this week and would very much like to buy one.

The only question outstanding is whether the unit will fit through my 125cm wide garage door?

Looking here http://www.foldingcamperinformation.co.uk/html/pullman.html, measuring the actual unit I think the answer is 'just'.

Are there any owners that can confirm or deny please?

Thanks

Patrick

If the clearance is only 5cm or 2 inches in old money you need to be absolutely certain of your measurements.

The camper outside access doors such as cassette toilet hatch, battery hatch, EHU inlet socket, flared wheel arches, door handle etc may not be included in the width.

Then you need to be able to line it up perfectly both sides and control it. Perhaps with a mover this might be possible but I wouldn't attempt it without. Just a slight obstruction, even a small stone could cause it to swing round a bit. If the ground slopes the bottom will hit one side and the top the other

Even the pegs to attach the bungee cord for the cover will make it almost certainly too big. My 2003 Pullman is 2.12 meters wide and I doubt if the gas struts for the beds are included in that. I had an earlier model without the gas struts and that wouldn't go through a standard garage door without risking damage.

Guides on the garage floor might help,simple strips of 3x2 to keep it in line.

Thanks for the feedback, confirming what I suspected that it works in theory but probably not in practice.

I think we will look for a Countryman, that still has the features we want and will be a comfortable fit in the garage.

We really should go back to good old feet and inches after BREXIT.

212mm is just over 8 inches.

No ... don't believe you got it through a 212mm door ... was it a cat flap?

Maybe your door was actually 2.12 metres ...
