There are often queues for the Eurotunnel single-deck carriages when it's busy - anyone regularly take an L322 into the standard double-deck ones? I know they just about go under the height limiters before boarding but was wondering how tight it was going between carriages (locked in access mode obviously).

There's a discussion about Eurotunnel in the camping and caravanning section which should answer your questions

You can always change the access height prior to boarding if you have IID tool. I've changed mine to -60mm in a matter of seconds. You can always put it back to standard afterwards.

you not only have to consider the height but the width as well...in the single carriages there's plenty of room on each side , the double deckers have less space so you get 'passers by' going to the toilets getting very close to your pride and joy.. ... - .- -.

Thanks. Haven't had a problem going in the single-decker queue but have never specified it.

I've done both regularly - they fit, but are very tight

I prefer the double height carriages - and the price is the same.

The are only 2 down sides-

Less availability, so if there are any problems, you can be kept waiting longer.
If you go Flexi-plus, there isn't a lounge for over-height.

When I'm towing or have skis on the roof, then it has to be over-height.
If it's a peak period, I will usually go in the standard carriage otherwise go over-height anyway.

I bet the old tin tent is a tight fit then if the RR's are!

They are tight in standard height - loads of room in the over height carriages.

The over-height take coaches - there's plenty of room for even the biggest of caravans

Width too? Stan mentioned people going to the toilet and skimming the car. With the van being wider, just how much room is left?

Tin tent goes in fine in the overheight. Did it last summer with our 26' lunar. Not a prayer im standard height.

If at all possible then go overheight it makes life just that little bit easier, however they will go in the regular, not done it myself however as have managed to blag/book extra high every time, but i know richtdv8 has and a few others. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Towing anything (or even bikes in the back) and you're in over height - the regular doors don't open wide enough.

They go in fine for width and height, do it regularly and never a problem. letters not necessarily in the right order

It doesn't cost any more to go in the single decker carriages and you don't need to worry about the car fitting, or having an IID tool to lower it further or even put it in access height, wouldn't consider doing it any other way. Discovery 4 HSE

Single deck.......

When you say single deck, that means double height? It looks that way (unless there's an even higher one!)

Either way, thats a nice fit. Can't wait till 2014 when we go to France!

Yep thats the single deck carriages, easy fit for a ff and van, just have to swing across and pretty much out the other side to line up when boarding There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
