Our previous camper was a Phoenix popup on a Tundra. Though our door opening was only 7 ft, we were able to back the rig into the garage with the camper on the truck. Our sloped driveway was a plus because it provided more clearance above the camper when backing into the garage. I adjusted the garage door for maximum clearance. Also, I deflated the air bags when entering and exiting the garage.
I want the pop up for a hundred different reasons, but one of the main ones is the ability to store it inside my garage away from the elements without having to pay a storage fee somewhere. The opening I have to fit the camper through is 7' high. This presents the dilemma that the camper has to be unloaded and then moved into the garage. I'm aware of the various dollies that can be used to move the camper easily.
