Help. Want to do a bus conversion but maybe a DP MH is smarter.

That sounds about right, $3 average for the round trip. Currently, it's about $3.50 average plus a hookup fee in Ohio. Some outfits do not have the longer reaching bars to pick up buses in the front. Landoll's are an option if the total height clearance works out, otherwise oversize permits may come into play with restricted routes. Many Interstate bridges are 14-15' high or more, but there are still some marked 13' 6". A/C's have been torn off because people did not pay attention to the height details.

Omg... I drive school busses for a living. I have to avoid three bridges because they've been closed or had weight restrictions placed on them due to strikes from overweight loads.

A quick update.

First, to all recommending ditching the bus for a HDT, the wife stepped on that hard and I tend to agree. The scenario I originally described is our worse case and most often the coach will be used in a more traditional RV sense. The sacrificed living space vs. OAL is simply dramatic. However great advice.

Second, with the very short limitations in our home state (60' overall) we are now looking at a 16' (approx.) stacker and a 40' coach. This should bring us right at the 60' limit we are up against in Indiana and allow for a tow vehicle bigger than a smart car. At 60' we should breeze through most other states.

Of course she wants things that will be difficult to squeeze into a 40' coach (like 1 1/2 baths and 3 slides) but her happiness is far more important than the lost skin and blood pouring from my damaged knuckles.

Again, thanks to all for the help.
