Haha yep! I use that one a lot of the time when people ask where I live. "I LIVE IN A BUS DOWN BY THE RIVER!!" It really does only work if you yell it a bit. Even better if there's a coffee table to fall over on

I very much look forward to the day I can yell that with all honesty...

I've been told to get my bus moved or else. My boss offered a short stay in a company compound. Looking for a more permanent home.

Mine is currently behind the house and I have the front and back ends covered with large Brown tarps so it blends in when people are driving by in either direction. They would have to really look hard to figure out what's behind the house.

I live in a mobile home park, and the manger lets me park the bus in a lot that is not rentable due to messed up power lines underground. If it fit in my parking space it would be no problem to be in my driveway.

I was hoping to find an empty lot to park it on for a lot fee, with or without water/shore power. Think this would be possible around the Twin Cities MN area? Or would I be better off looking for a friend and offering rent in a zone that won't be picky?

I have mine in the back yard. No HOA to worry about & I could care less what any of the neighbors think. Its registered & insured but more importantly on my property.

Found another little place out in the country a couple miles... All the utilities were here, rent's cheap and I'm closer to work. On a couple acres with another guy in a motorhome. He's got a 6 month old rat terrier that keeps Buddy busy.
Concrete pad for restoring my boat.
High speed internet

Happy so far

Mine is currently in my driveway. We are one of the few neighborhoods in the area that doesn't have an HOA (it was a selling point for this house), but that didn't stop someone from calling the county to complain. Luckily, the compliance officer was friendly. He asked me to move my shade pavilion to the backyard and make sure I keep the construction debris cleaned up, but it's legally registered as an RV and I'm obviously not using it as anything other than an RV, so he told me I'm not violating code and closed the case. He did say it looked like a cool project, and he hopes to see it once it's finished.

As soon as the conversion is done, we plan to sell the house and be nomadic for a while, so our parking will vary from week to week.

Are the mirrors surviving any better these days?

In my driveway in full view of everyone

I had the same issue as you so I searched around on Craigslist for RV storage. I found a couple of ads where people owned a couple of acres and let people park their RV and toys for a monthly fee. I called a around a bit and explained what I wanted to do and found someone who was ok with me working on it. So now it sits on an emu farm for $50 a month. I bought a generator and drag that thing out there every weekend to work on it. The smell is kinda farm ripe... Goats, emu and horses. But hey it works

Yeah, man.
With the city on us, we're considering building a bus barn.
We've been pricing steel garages/buildings and are probably gonna go with a 30'x60' with roll-up doors on the sides and one big open end.

The plan is to finish a couple home projects, get the house all painted, and list it. Hopefully this time next year we will be outside the city on some acreage.

Well we are fortunate to have three acres and she is literally 50 feet from the house. That makes it real easy to work on and stay motivated.

I used to park mine at the church next door, but after a month the city left me a notice about no commercial vehicles allowed. I explained to them it's a motor home and they told me the only place it would be allowed was in my back yard. I wasn't ready for that so I took it to an RV storage place. Within 10 seconds of entering the gate the owner called me to yell at me that there were no busses allowed. He was kind enough to let me have my month that I paid for though. Now it's back to my house. Most people don't notice it.

The same for me. I'm sitting on 2 1/2 acres and mine is sitting on a covered dance floor that we have for parties. It has to come off pretty soon because our 40th anniversary party is coming up.
