Like Doug said, the height when folded down is a bonus as it can fit into the average carport/garage when down, unlike some caravans etc, however unless the roof is particularly high or has been modified (I saw one that had the middle of the carport roof raised in an A shape) it cannot have the roof raised, although a partial raising can be achieved if you don't mind crawling in and out. One thing I like with having the roof down for travel, is the door cannot open and swing out as the roof slides over the top of the door, better security too if the roof is padlocked at the locking points.
