No.......... we didn't sell it!!!
We brought the Bus home in December, 2007, and had planned to store it inside a garage where we had kept our Airstream motorhome. However, I did not check the total height of the Bus, and although it would fit width-wise, the garage door was not tall enough.
Our hometown of Victoria has very limited storage options with 12' wide by 14' tall doorways. We found one place that we liked, but they had no vacancies, although they were about to evict one tenant, who was not making payments. We got on their waiting list in January, and it just took a long time for the eviction process to complete. We were promised May 1, then July 1, and finally got in on July 9.
It is really nice to have our driveway back again!! Here's what we have been dealing with:
Now this is it's new home. It has a security fence, and it is 60' x 14' with a door on each end. In the next two pictures, it is the second door from the front in the middle section:
For the first time, we drove it through the rear door. From now on, I will probably back it in. We have about 20' of additional storage in the rear, and for now, I am keeping it on pallets on the side so that I have the option of driving 'through'! It also has two electric plugs on the driver's side, and I can keep it plugged in to maintain all the batteries:
If you look closely at the above picture, you can see a small pallet that I beefed up as a 'porch step' with a door mat to keep the Bus clean!
We are pretty much avoiding traveling in the summer heat. We have a 5-day trip planned to Fredericksburg, TX and Boerne, TX to have a weekend campout with the new Allegro club out of San Antonio called the Allegro Amigos. We have another campout out in mid-August.
