The door on my trailer is 24" but would still hit most roll-up canopies. I
use a "kit" canopy - the kind with conduit and corners, and a tarp
stretched over. I just have it two feet from the trailer - that way it
doesn't interfere with the door. I'm thinking of going to a 10' long roll
up type, which would fit behind the door and not interfere.
