BTW

Sir Michaels makes avalanche rollpans. You just can't use it with the Body Cladding.

Here's an example of one

That's what I did, well almost. I built a garage with a house attached to it.

I'd say cut out the studs, frame in a header just above the bumper, and open the wall up from the bumper to the floor. That should give you enough room.

I have a standard builder's cookie cutter 20'X20' 2-car garage and my Av fits. I back into the garage, angling over toward the exterior wall, until the rear bumper touches the back wall. I then have just enough clearance between the front bumper and the garage door to be able to slide in to check oil levels, etc. Mine's also cladded.

All good ideas but there is no way too make the space larger. The wall side of the problem is foundation (cement). The house was built by a builder (hearthstone/celebrity) you really dont have much say in those types of structural items. I'm gonna park it outside and maybe one day build a garage/shed in the back yard.
