D'ya know, we have a roof box and it never even occured to me about height limits!
Thank you for sharing your bad experience ... as you have certainly educated me and will hopefully have saved us and may others from a similar experience!
------------- The Kale Family Campers
Test 1st camp - June, Witterings
August - 1 week in 'sunny' Croyde at Ruda
August - bank holiday weekend, Boarhunt, Hampshire
Best (worst?) I ever saw was a guy in an estate car with two mountain bikes standing up on the roof rack. Well, suffice to say they didnt fit under the barrier to the car park in Bedgellert. I dont think his wife was impressed, she just walked off as he picked the bikes and rack up off the road outside. Did the cars roof no good at all.

Every day is a gift..That's why it's called the present.
A friend of mine once shaved the top off a hired box-van by driving it under a bridge. We're very conscious of width and length when driving an unfamiliar vehicle, but somehow the height isn't quite on our radar.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
