Ours is 6 metres long but high because of the roof box. We have never had the slightest trouble (and I have had it in some very tight situations)

I think the main thing is always to be very aware of the size and never put it where you won't get it out.

Sorry for stating the obvious but it really is easy to forget

Our van is 7.4 metres long and 2,35 metres high, we tour the UK, France, Spain and Portugal, and so far to date we have not had a parking problem for shopping at any of the major supermarkets, or when visiting towns. We do sometines use park and ride but not very often. We also have a label fixed to the drivers sunvisor with the vehicle dimension on it.

It would pay you to subscribe to www.wildcamping.co.uk and download their stopover software which shows all the free overnight and pub car parks where you can park up for the night.
