Going from standard to high roof

[MrOlaf]

Has anyone here had a Ford or GMC van as their work vehicle that has now switched to the high top NV.  If so, do you ever forget to check for roof clearance? for example low hanging tree limbs that you wouldn't have to typically worry about in your prior vehicle

Yes. Came from a Chevy work van.

 

Fortunately, I haven't forgotten to check for low clearance so far. But there's always tomorrow!

When I first started looking for a new work van, I checked out Ebay. Saw a few high roofs that had been decapitated. It made an impression on my mind.

 

A few disadvantages of high roofs: no more fast food drive thru's, no more auto car washes, parking decks, carports or home garages. It's something you always have to be aware of. Letting down your guard can be very expensive.

I have seen it several times now, at least 5 vans. Our parts driver did it about 3 months after getting our first vans.
