If you were going to convert or buy another bus, what length bus would want?

RV parks and campgrounds generally offer different accommodations; RV parks are more apt to accommodate large RV/bus while most campgrounds accommodate tents and trailers/RV up to 30-35'. For example, State of Ca parks limit size to about 30-35 max.

I think CA limits the length to limit the weight I saw a sign at one "No 3 axle RV permitted " ,I have seen the same in Texas with weight limits of less than 29,000 lbs for RV's,those roads are not high spec and 40 to 50,000 lbs motor homes will eat it up in a hurry

Ditto on the weight issue. In all the years we've owned our relatively small bus in comparison to today's standards - small bridges over creeks or any limited weight roadway prevented us from getting into prime areas before our size did!

pre covid days I tried to get one of the " 10 sites @ 50 amps " out of the 225 sites the park had ( provincial park like a state park ) but did not get in as they were booked by 8:01 am ? so I had to get a 30 amp site and that is ok as if I watch the amps I use we are ok but not what I would have liked . had to cancel as if we still go there is a 14 day quarantine on the site before we could do anything . thats not happening .

you guys in the south west are leaps and bounds ahead of us up here in the north east as far as sites go . do to the cost of the dirt a lot of the older parks are selling out and retiring as the dirt is worth more now then all the money they have brought in over there life time of owning the park
a sad day for rvers

Same thing happen in Scottsdale the dirt became worth to much,there was a park in old Scottsdale a older couple owned for years he died  and she kept it going and never would sell she died 3 years ago and a week after she passed away the dozers moved in the kids sold that 12 acres in a hurry it brought lot of money @ 55.00 a sf

My bus takes up 240 sq ft--at $55/sq ft that's 13,200!  I'm worth more dead than alive!  Jack

Yep kids can see dollar signs ,that was a valuable piece of property for years she just had no desire to sell she loved her little RV park and the people that stayed there

Once I get the truck conversion done and get the bus sold, I want to get a smaller motorhome for quickie weekend trips-especially to spots that don't allow 40ft. I'm leaning towards the LazyDays 23ft twin King with no slides. Good Luck, TomC

[chessie4905]

Just get a smaller travel trailer for those trips.

[lostagain]

Tom, you could get a small travel trailer that you would tow with your truck conversion, no? LOL.

Tom

is this the one ?

I think it would be ok for short trips and only for a few days at a time but you could get claustrophobic quickly .

We have a 24ft Safari Trek that we have stayed in for weeks it's not bad the bed comes down from the celling and only used at night with it up you have plenty of room the tub is useless 

[TomC]

Yes that is the Lazy Days 23ft twin/king. I have to stay with a motorhome. My wife cannot sit for long periods in a truck or car. She has to lie down either on the sofa or floor to stretch and do exercises. Good Luck, TomC
