Actual height of T@G Boondock Edge with Yakima Rack and awning?

in Looking to buy a Trailer?

My garage door is 82" high less about 3" for the door clearance, so 78-79". The T@G specs say 72" height but to add 3" for Boondock (so, 75"). And no difference is given for the Boondock Edge. Boondock Edge owners, is the spec correct at 75"? Including the Yakima Rack and awning? I've already lowered my expectations from T@B to T@G because of my car's towing capacity. Do I need to limit myself to just a vanilla T@G to ensure I'll fit the garage? I really love that front deck and Yakima rack.

    Yakima rack comes off in a few minutes if you need to take it off. Look up Yakima “slim shady”. Loosen the handles and remove. Mine sits at 84-85” with it on.

    I measured mine and it sits at 83.5" with the awning on. Just clears the opening and luckily the door on one side goes up above the opening. Not so luck on the other garage door. the XL would have given us just 2" of clearance to navigate in width wise so we did not go in that direction.

    Thank you Nfallon and Joabmc! And now I have to go measure the width of our garage doors too! :s

    Just a thought here:
    If you have one door that goes up higher than the other, it might be as simple as adjusting the up-travel of the low one by adjusting the up-limit screw on the garage door opener.

    WilliamA, tried to adjust. Even had the garage door people out and the door is at its limit. I can usually figure out these things after lots of research but the one garage door seems to stop short. I can navigate the trailer inside the garage to that side if needed inside the garage. Getting excited to take our camper H@lfpint out on its maiden voyage at the end of April to Hocking Hills in Ohio.

    let some air out of the tires when you store it

    I have not seen the awning bracket, but if you offset the bars, aren't you able to install the bracket upside down, so that the awning would not be higher than the bars?

    I have to remove my roof rack and the awning, but it's easy and stores under the trailer out of the way.
