Our OKA "C" class is 5.9m long, 2.16m wide and 3.05m high.
No idea what that is in feet. Stopped using them when Australia went metric from 1966.
Cheers,
Peter

Metric is a challenge for some people as it does require the ability to divide and multiply by 10

Hey, I think they are talking about converting from metric to imperial. I was a draughtsperson in a previous life and hated giving up imperial.
You need to convert using 25.4mm equals 1"

In most cases the easiest way for measurements is to divide or multiply by 3, gives you the closest measurement when converting without having to get a calcualtor out.

It's either imp or metric for me. None of this conversion stuff.
I did it at school in "the good old days", and never did get the hang of the conversion stuff.
Metric is much easier, although as Jim mentioned, everything is in multiples of 10, 100 or 1000.
Challenging for this old brain.
Some of the 5th wheelers are almost as high as a container or pan van on a semi.
I'm only about 2.5 metres. Still need a long ladder to scrub the roof down which I've been doing this week.
Damned rain! I'm over it!

I suggest that is NOT good enough for vehicle height. Knowing your height in feet will be useless to you.
Next time you approach a low bridge, it will be very useful to know EXACTLY how high you are (in metres) and I suggest that if you can't remember that you write it on the dash board somewhere.
Cheers, Peter

I was just talking in general Peter, not for an actual height of a vehicle, but if you need to know roughly the conversion in a hurry.
Was really making a comment on jimricho statement that metric is a challenge, nothing more nothiing less.

I bought a dual measure tape last week from one of the "$2" shops.
