how should they park the van?
Normally in a parking space like almost every van I see in department store parking lots?
Ok, I don't know enough about cars, vans, parking or the imperial system to understand why a van would fit in one space but this car cannot.
The average tansport van is about 18ft long. And the standard U.S. parking space is also 18ft long, this means the average van will still slightly stick out no matter what, but by no means as much as a 22ft beast on wheels.
There are also older model vans, which are more common, only reaching 16ft in length, so those will be able to properly park in standard parking spots.
