4104 owners near Greenville S.C.
« on: May 24, 2021, 05:28:01 PM »
I have been chatting with a gentleman on Facebook that lives in Easley, SC near Greenville,  S.C.

He is interested in adding a 4104 to his life, but doesn't want to buy one only to find out he can't park it in his driveway.

I figured I would save time by posting this instead of going down the survivor's list and contacting everyone by email or messaging..

Anyone local to that part of the country that could contact him and perhaps swing by and see if a 4104 can fit in his driveway?

I know it's an odd request,  but hey why not.

Probably could expand this to any 35-ft bus if the goal is to check the fit in the driveway. Other than possible difference in turning radius, which would only matter if it's a difficult driveway to get into, I'd think that 35 feet of bus would take up the same driveway space regardless of the particular model.

Just a thought in case there's another similar bus nearby.

Good bye overhang, carport, eavestrough...

4104 will fit where a taller bus will not...

Happy coaching!

Good point - hadn't considered height. I was thinking about the footprint.

he could tape a couple of 8 foot hf tarps together and lay it on the driveway. If you desire a coach bad enough youll make it work.👌

I will be down to Palmetto cove in a few weeks.

Kyle may have a non rally but I am going to come down to spend a few days with my sister.
She lives in Pickens arch high school football rival of old days.

Would be glad to let him get acquainted with a 04.

Will post when I start down.
