Saw this parked next to the Air Force Lodge today and had to have it.
The owner of the Lodge is a German ex-pat, with a Masters in Economics, and obviously even more skills than that would imply. He redid this bus, it’s street legal (in Yukon Territory), and the tallest vehicle in Canada. It’s got almost 600 square feet, two bedrooms up, one bath, kitchen, and den down. Before he added the second floor, the top end was 130 kph. Now it’s limited by aerodynamics (or lack thereof) to 95kph. And the windows match the windows in the Lodge.
He was interested in the new Explorer I'm driving, so I thought – Hey, I won’t have to worry about reservations for the rest of this trip, and it could be the second home I’ve always wanted. It'll even tow the Boxster.
Pat, you won’t need the space at Portobello any more. We’ll just park this puppy on Main Street in downtown Hendersonville. Or I could park it in Plaza Midwood and sell it for $200 per square foot.
Wonder if it will fit in the garage?

That looks like a good trade to me. Although the gas mileage may suffer a bit. Great pictures. It is summer here now, it felt like it all day, high humidity and close to 90 degrees.

The pictures look great. If you could try and get some pictures of the regional architectural/vernacular architecture that would be great. It is Sunday morning here and no one to run with. Have a great day.
Alan,
Cool trade.
Debbie erased me yesterday, hope this one makes it through.
Love following your trip.Your writing is a cross between John Muir and the galloping gourmet.I enjoy both.
Looking forward to seeing Eskimo babes.
