Michelle,

Welcome to the forum. It would be much easier for us to offer suggestions if we knew where you are located.

What he said! Go to your profile, and fill in as much info as you can, being sans bus, as of yet.
This is an obstacle many of us have faced; don't have a place, or the place won't accommodate a bus. Sometimes U-Store-It places have long-term storage parking, and will let folx work their builds. Auto garages that have parking available have been known to rent space.
Good luck in your quest, and welcome to the booby hatch!

HazMatt, Sorry i am not good with computers and being dyslexic does not help. I will put all my info but for now i live in Torrance CA but i do not care if i have to move someplace to build the bus. I have no family ties in California. Thank you for your help everyone.

Howdy, Michelle. No worries, if I lived in Torrance, I'd be looking to get the hell outta Dodge, too!
The logistics of moving, and not yet having your bus, is a sticky one, I don't envy you that.
We do have members in SoCal, so hopefully one of 'em will drop by with some advice on the lay of the local landscape.
If you're using Android, I can help with the profile stuff. PC & IOS, not so much so...
