How to float right menu headers - css

Question

my BOOTPLY... MY BOOTPLY HERE
I need my menu items (car, house, street, boat) to float right at same height level as my logo (for desktop dimensions) and everything else to stay the same as current (including mobile toggle menu behaviour).
Is that possible to achieve?

Answer 1

You need to use display:inline-block; on both divs that contain your logo and menu items and then float the menu item div to the right.

Answer 2

The essential necessary changes are:
1.) Make sure that the CSS rule for .navbar-nav, contains float:right
2.) From the DIV <div class="clearfix prevent-float"></div>, remove both classes.
Now the two elements can be next to each other. They are not yet, but that is due to various padding and/or margin settings, which you also have to adjust.
