Better to tell the shop to use 20,000 ft. Otherwise you need an 

altimeter certified higher, either 30 or 35K, which will cost you more. 

No sense in doing it unless you intend to use it.

Use the 20K but just for fun go to Mike Stewart's, aka Kahuna from TeamRV, 

and check out his high altitude ride in his Super 8.

We have always used a 20,000' altimeter.

My recent xpdr check was done to 20K.  They didn't ask me for that figure.

Thanks all responding.  Found out the reason shop asked for altitude is 

their (FAA?) form lists altitudes in 2000 ft increments (at least around 

20,000 ft.). So, they suggested use 22,000 ft. ceiling for my -8.

Thanks Again, Jack
