BTDT...
When I put my extension on my house, I wasn't planning on getting a bus (actually I just plain wasn't planning cause I only made it 8' wide). When I got the first bus, it fit. I have pictures to prove it. I took the vinyl gutter off the house, though, and then widened the driveway extension to 12.5'. Now it's much easier to get in and out of.
I also took out the neighbor's mailbox across the street once. It was in pretty bad shape, though, and needed replaced anyway.
I impressed the hell out of my wife and a couple other people last night, though. I pulled a 6x12 U-haul trailer back from CO and got home a little after 10 pm last night. I backed the bus and trailer off the street and into the driveway extension next to the house, where I normally park the bus. There were two cars watching this as they waited to get by (I'm surprised they didn't start honking or drive on the neighbor's grass to get by). I wasn't too impressed, though, as I had to make 2 adjustments to get it right. I should have been able to do it on the first try.
