Driving on grass?

[bubblerboy64]

400 ft is the problem that I see. No matter how you handle it, it will be
costly. Factor in that these "Birds" really need to be under cover. You have
exactly the problem that I have at my location. No place close to the road to
park the bus. I elected to rent a storage buy which is fortunately close to
home and costs me $212 a month. No electric (which is a little bit of a
problem) but the bus is fully enclosed in a locked bay with no access other then
me. My way of thinking is that I am WAY ahead when I factor the cost of a drive
and some type of cover. Most of these bus barns don't add a lot of value to a
property unless done very right for a lot of money. Something to consider. I
know ever situation is different. Lots of people have to spend a lot more on
rent and then have to travel 5 miles to get to the bus So what works for me may
not work for you. Just consider the cover issue as well.

big on the bottom and work your way up to solid bed then put top soil on top for
a few inches but any turn if you have a tag axle will pull the sod up. I store
in the middle of a field and the driving area is worn but all solid. Make sure
that you make room on a radius to turn into the door straight so that you don't
have to wiggle back and forth every time you want to go in or out. I would also
bit the bullit and make that a pole barn not a cover you will get your money
back in tire purchases alone to keep the sunlight out and snow depending on your
location. My coach has been in a indoor storage for all of its 10 year life and
trust me it shows it
