Your truck and T/C look big. My t/c is 12 ft. 4 in. tall. So a 12 w x 14 h garage door is recommended!
You're right, we settled on a 14 high x 18 wide door. My current camper requires a little less than 11 1/2 ft. of clearance, but a good point was made early in this topic: I may replace this camper with one that has a basement, and it will need at least a foot more clearance. That's one of the reasons I started this topic, to get more brains involved. There are so many details like that to consider.

looking good.. that wall getting broke was something a rookie would do they should have been pulling the boom in when lifting.. when lifting a wall that length we put a doubled plate at the top..it sucks to have to replace a broken top plate..for a good laugh put a newbie on that power trowel..
looking forward to more pics..
Yup, the builder said he thought that's what he and the lead framer had decided to do. I don't know why it was done the way it was. But, it's been fixed now and they lifted the wall correctly the second time. I'll post some pic's of that later. I really wish they had built this wall standing up on top of the block wall to begin with. This whole part was just too stressful for me to watch.
Onward and upward I guess!
