It's WAY too Big !!!

"Jeff, it's WAY too big!"

That is exactly what Anna said when she looked out the front window and saw our future home for the first time. It blocked our view of the two neighbors homes across the street, which I guess could be accurately described as pretty darn big. But, really, what is "too big"?

"Too big" is a subjective term.

Too big to park on the street?  The average lot size here is 45 feet. The bus is 36 feet +/-1ft. So, yes it is too big to park on the street. Legally.

Too big to fit into the driveway? Nope. 15 feet to spare.

BUT...

The interior of the forlorn trailer is exactly equal to the distance from the back of the drivers seat to the rear of the bus. The cab and engine take up 10 feet (36' total). Any truck that's capable of towing a trailer would be around 20' long. So as Spock would logically point out, we are 10 feet LESS big.

Big or not, it is SO MUCH EASIER to back-up.

BIG TIME ground clearance. Hello, Quartzite !!!

After a brief curb-side inspection, I got the impression that the latent wanderlust pent up inside of Anna was chipping away at her armor. Something clicked.

Since that day, Anna has been immersed in YouTube "Skoolie" videos.

I could not be happier.
