I don't even bother with 2.0/2.1/2.2m barriers, but I did have to check I was below 2.6m with my bag on my roof as there's some underpasses going around Le Mans than have a 2.6m restriction. I'm at 2.4m at most with a full bag on my rack.
I Wont attempt to drive under a 2 meter barrier with my 2.1 van without checking first, I guess it depends how high your van is, each is different, I know my local height barriers, it’s more for when we are away and the barrier car park is the only option, these height barriers are popping up everywhere it seems, so nice to know the actual height, not what’s written on the sign
Set of 3 sizes of metal brake pipe clamps, they are plastic with rubber seals, includes one for banjo type, clip on, no more dribbles when removing a caliper or slave cylinder.
Is the barrier at the entrance always the lowest point? Or is it somewhere further inside?????
Final few bits (I hope!) before my euro trip.
A front runner utensil roll
Levelling ramps
Some big body wash wet wipes, and a long handled window squeegee/sponge for the inevitable bug kill count I'll rack up on the van over a couple of thousand miles!

I use a tub of builders wonder wipes for bug removal. They work a treat
Tbh half the issue on my van is reaching the upper middle of the windscreen
even at 6ft 3in I struggle, and that's nothing to hold on to when stepping on the wheel!I'll also be taking a spray bottle of ONR diluted as a quick detailer, it's excellent as a window cleaner too so that should be good to shift the bugs. Plus some microfiber towels.

Wonder wipes are awesomeTbh half the issue on my van is reaching the upper middle of the windscreen
I cant fit a foot on top of our wheel so i have to stand inside the cab with the door open , hanging off the cab roof handle or the A pillar handle and reach over . ..bit of a stretch .
I can fit a foot on the wheel but it's something I avoid doing as the consequences if I fell backwards... Let's just say I think there would be a loud snap noise and my foot wouldn't be pointing the right direction.Wonder wipes are awesome

Nope!
The utensil roll looks a really good idea
Less than £50 including delivery...I like those!

fit nice too, nice little touch where the carpet goes back to the flooring at the rear between the seats - 1+1's.
Picked up in the van that makes me money, to be fitted to the van that costs me money, a new to me Vw Cantara alloy wheel from Hereford.
To be stored as a “spare” in case any of the fitted 1’s get damaged.
The tyre will get scrapped.

Also pondered on whether to spend £60 on what is basically sh***ng in a bag (posh style)

Vs Spending £60 on an actual porta potti which might take up a bit more space, but will be much easier to, ahem... deal with afterwards...

£60 to crap in a bag seems, expensive, no?
