When we moved to Colfax there were two barns on the place. Margie Van Winkle measured one and said, "Yes, 26' 1", it will fit. Randy, Margie and some friends from college helped put in barn doors. Here is the grand opening in 2012: http://graestone.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/GrandOpening.mov
When the coach is in the barn, against the stop for the left rear wheel, the door shuts with one inch to spare.
Sometimes my coach tries to walk out. One time it tried so hard it bent the drop pin and popped the doors open. It really walks!
I have started it and backed it up, sometimes two inches. My coach walks. I always put it in park.
I feel like I should shake my finger at its nose and say, "Stay!"
Hints:
I have disk brakes in back and an emergency brake on the back bogies
I have a slow leak in the air bags
