Sort of tangential to this, I wish someone would come out with a handheld which had the entire repeater database pre-loaded into memory, a GPS, and a function which lets you scan only the repeaters within a specified radius of your current position.
According to the Dormobile brochure I have, 7'-0". That is a stock SIIA 109 Dormobile.
Mine is a little taller. I stay out of the 7' clearance parking garage at work.

They have self contained ones and ones that need to plug into your cigarette lighter.
One of the Arizona radio clubs let us borrow several self contained units of a different manufacture for our Rally. The biggest problem with them...

In other news in the last couple of months two more Dormobiles have moved to Tucson. One is a 1962 from Alaska, and the other a SIII. That make 4 in Tucson that I know of.
