    Could use some advice-
    We plan on travelling to California this summer. We’ve read that all RV’s over 40ft require a CDL to be driven legally. Our rig is roughly 32ft but we will be towing a pick up truck behind it. How do we get away with it!?

      Doesn’t sound right to me or thousands and thousands of snowbirds are breaking the law. Where did you read that, I’m 45 feet so would like to know. ;) maybe they mean just the RV length?

        This includes air brake equipped vehicles at this length?

          “This includes air brake equipped vehicles at this length?”
          Yes it does. You do not need a cdl to travel in ca. Just watch your speed. Speed limit is 55mph on the interstate.

      Good information…I’d wondered about pulling something behind, as well…puts me over 40′ too. And now I know…Thanks for the great question Kelsey & Ben!!

    A few of the inside of our bus. These are photos are from when the bus was still in progress. Ben was able to complete this project in less than 2 months – amazing! Complete with oven/stove, refrigerator, sink, wood stove, and groover. I so love the kitchen/counters!!

      Kelsey & Ben replied 4 weeks ago

      Thanks! Oops my mistake. It’s a self-contained toilet.

      Wicked job! Did that stove come red or did you paint it?

      It’s factory paint out of a 60s pull behind. We were lucky enough to find all recycled appliances. Money saver!!

    Hi all! New to this community and excited to share with you bits about our bus life! Ben and friends remodeled the inside into a comfortable cabin-esque camper for us to live freely and travel happily with our 2 cats and a dog. We spent 6 months living in it last year and are excited to get back to it within the next month. We’re now in the…

      Hi Guys, welcome to RVHH. :) My wife and I are nearing 4 years full time now. Started as a 1 year RVing sabbatical trip from our regular lives and businesses but we never went back. Loved it too much.

      Thanks guys! I’ve just posted a couple photos of the inside. I’m just now realizing how few pictures we have of it. Sadly! I suppose I don’t take as many of the inside now that it has that whole lived-in mess thing going on :]

    Hi guys! Meet Sheba – our wonderful black lab mix who lives with us in our school bus with our 2 cats – Bandit and Arlo, they’re brothers. This photo of Sheba was taken while boondocking in Moab, UT. We all can’t wait to go back!!
