I don't see the point of having a smaller motorhome in addition to the bus. The bus takes us anywhere we need to go. I really don't need another vehicle to maintain and insure.

I agree with this.  My truck and 40 foot 5th wheel trailer are over 50 feet long.   A truck and 34 foot 5th wheel would be 45 feet long.   A truck and 28 foot bumper pull are 45+ feet long.   Ignoring the weight, a 45 foot bus doesn't need a much larger campsite than any of these trailer rigs.

I once parked my 5th wheel in a tenting spot.  The trailer wheels were on the tent pad.   The back of the trailer was 5 feet in the air way behind the tent pad.

We had a 35' MCI5A & now a 40' MCI102C3, we sold the 35ft when we decided to go full time, which didn't happen, but the 40'  was to accommodate my wifes idea to create jewelry which would require a little work area and storage. Now after years owning a 40ft 102" wide and just recently finding out there is just as big a problem getting park spaces for either size, I might buy a tiny travel trailer for short unplanned vacations, lvmci...
