Parking the PT-40

[Leroy Eckert]

Ryan: Plan ahead. We are about 62' long with the trailer, and have managed OK.
An empty school parking lot is a good place to practice on weekends.
The really good thing about the bus is bacon, eggs and biscuits and gravy are
approximately 15' behind the pilot seat. No special parking place required. A
rest stop will do.

Gook Luck.

Folks,

As I consider what to do in my quest for a new motorhome, I stumbled
upon a question: Where and how do you large bird owners park when
you're on the road?

It dawned on me the other day while traveling. I stopped in for a bite
to eat at a restaurant and thought, "OK, now if I were in a 40 foot
coach, where on earth would I park?" I've always been able to park my
28' Travco anywhere. She slips right into a pair of parking spots
easily. I was looking real close at the supermarket parking lot by the
restaurant and thinking there was no place I could reasonably park,
even in such a big lot. Only thing I could come up with that wouldn't
interfere with the normal flow of traffic was to drive around back and
park near where their trucks unload and hope there was room for me up
against a curb where I wouldn't be in their way.

So what do you do? I don't intend to pull a tow vehicle everywhere I
go... or is that a necessity with a large coach like this? Maybe the
parking is just something I will naturally figure out once I get
comfortable behind the wheel?
