Abby Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 For those of you who have parked in the RC lot at Port Canaveral, FL, are the spaces big enough to accommodate a F350 dually truck? And is it a parking lot or a garage? We are trying to decide on which vehicle to take and while we'd prefer the truck, I don't want to get down there and have issues with parking due to its size. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 It is a normal parking garage. There are no extra large spaces and I expect a truck that big will encroach on one or both of the spaces on each side and stick out pretty far. Parking garages are just not designed for huge trucks. My suggestion, if you must take it, is to park on the top deck in a corner. Personally as a vertically challenged driver, I hate when a truck like that parks next to me. Takes up all the space between our vehicles and I cannot see around it to pull out safely. Also not sure of the height limitations.

loki007 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 There is an outdoor lot where I have parked my RV in the past. Not sure how close it is to the RC terminal. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby Dick Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Just an FYI, and I'm not saying the following as an absolute truth, but as a retired Parking System General Manager at the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl Airport AND Port Everglades, the top floor is the floor "most" people try to avoid to park in and it is usually the last to fill, get too filled. I don't think you'd have a hard time finding a space for your P/U that doesn't encroach too badly, especially in corner locations. Oh, please be courteous and remove the trailer hitch. My shins are damaged enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thankful for everyone that weighed in bc I'm sure we would have been stressed otherwise! Happy sailing! Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billbo58 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I have a 2500 Ram not concerned with the width just the height. Anyone know the ceiling height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know the ceiling height? Unless you modified the truck or installed roof mounted flood lamps or something like that, etc etc, you should be fine! Most commercial/public garages have "headache bars", usually hanging overhead using chains or ropes, before you enter the garage. If you touch a headache bar, don't enter. The height is also posted before you enter. WARNING TO ALL: If you enter the garage but your vehicle is higher than the posted height limit, don't feel confident. The posted height is referring to the lowest place in the garage SOMEWHERE, not necessarily at the entrance. The headache bar is equivalent with the lowest part of the garage, SOMEWHERE. Edited June 26, 2022 by Suite Snob P.S. If you enter and you find yourself in a location where you are about to hit the ceiling/top by a fraction of an inch or an inch point something, let about half the air out of your tires. Your good to go! AlmondFarmer and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
