... It's kinda neat how the 23' really does almost fit into parking spaces.
|
No longer (and very little wider) than a lot of today's pickups.
While it WILL fit in many single parking spaces, I normally use two. (Side by side) I have been blocked out of the coach by someone parking to close to my door.
I am thinking my "permanent" GMC will be a 23 foot. Currently looking for side-bath "core" some where in the west.

""I do like the way the GMC only has one door, but I hadn't considered
this problem before.
""
I always worry about that a bit in case of emergency such as fire. There are some unfortunate cases were people have pulled over next to a guard rail and weren't able to get out. I'd also like the conventience of just getting in or out directly to the driver's seat. I realize at least one person has made that mod.

You guys nabbed me! Thought I could be inconspicuous and slip through the Golden Gate without being noticed. I guess the bike on the back foiled my attempts at scrambling your radar...
I was heading back from a great Reggae Festival in Humboldt, with three good friends along for the ride. By the time I got to the east bay from sf, I had punctured my rear driver side tire somehow. Desmond found me in the parking lot of West Marine, pouting over my flat tire and a the newest tatoo my coach had acquired (fiberglass damage)
thanks for all the tips Desmond... I look forward to rallying with you in the near future! You mentioned Marin... Anywhere with an abundance of good oysters works for me! Tomales, Bodega, etc

My "eagle eye radar" will spot any GMC whizzing by! Being in traffic made it that much easier! I commute from SF to Vallejo everyday, let me know about your Mini-Rally on the coast...I am really close by for a weekend jaunt for oysters! Sorry to hear about the Tattoo
