When we were in DC several years ago it was very difficult to find a
parking place anywhere near the National Mall. The clearance in the parking
decks was too low for the Westfalia.  I finally found a lot that would let
me drive into the exit ramp to park in a slot next to the exit. I don't
know what the situation is now.
