Is that fence removable the whole width of the property to get in off the alley?

Not for the faint of heart!

happy coaching!

Yes, the first two answers are correct - except they're just roof hatches, not air con units.

Immediately behind the bus is a tall gate - when this is open it's not too difficult to get the bus out and down the alley; a couple of shuffles backwards and forwards are needed to get the bus away from the wall it's parked next to, after which it will make the (left) turn without too much difficulty. (Also remember that European buses are designed to be maneuverable, with shorter wheelbases and lots of steering lock. And mine doesn't have a tag axle of course).

Anyone else got a 'find the bus' picture to post?

It's not too hard to find, but I also have my bus on a satellite map!!

Before I bought it, at the bus company! It is the one on the left of the building in the 2nd picture, squeezed between the school buses! :)

No idea if this will work or not.

My property is directly south of the big ring, which is a trotting track.  My bus is parked  alongside my workshop.  I don't know how to copy the actual picture.

Ok, here are 3 buses for you.   If you go to Google Maps and type in 13360 E, 53rd Lane  Yuma Az.  and click on the street view you will be looking at a place on the North side of the street, If you rotate it to the south you will see our 5A.  Also next door in the rv port is the Eagle that TimKar just bought. You may have to drag the image a little to get a better view of our bus, the gate arch is in the way. :) Also back on the North side across and just a little farther east from the us is Bob Moody's Eagle and his 37 Lincoln.  By the way, they say that the addresses are approximate and they are off by a bit.  These pictures were taken at least 2 years ago from what i can tell, maybe 3 years at the most.

If it helps, Google Earth/Maps has a link button in the upper-right corner that will give a URL for the exact image you are looking for - for instance, this is Ed's:

That's even better Jeremy, its looking right at our bus. Never noticed the link button before, now i guess i will have to get my wife to show me how to copy and paste to post things elsewhere. Of course since i never do that i will forget how by the time i want to. ;D

I guess we are all on satellite.

Remember, folks. This is a public board, where we post when we are going on trips. You won't catch me putting up my exact house on here....

Food for thought.

God bless,

I found ours but it looks like about 2 years ago! The Explorer is gone, the white cargo trailer is gone and so is the black cargo trailer and the trash can s have been put back where they belong! :)

well I thought it was the link but after going to view it here, it wasn't my home!

Looks like the "Where's Waldo?" of buses.
