It was a very close fit. We had less than 1" on both sides. The roof did not clear after taking off the wheels. We rolled the unit in on his rotors (they are HUGE, very common when transporting these units) and strapped the box down to compress the springs and create clearance. My buddy crawled out of the cabin from the rear. The green one was a bit easier. Just some air out of the tires did it.

No, its actually a former Army ambulance. I found a ton of those back home. Actually seriously thinking about bringing some here and transfer them into campers. One of my tenants has a RV repair place. Maybe teaming up with him would work. All just ideas for now.

Personal Use. I actually only "need" the green one for on the property, but shipping a 40' unit is almost the same as a 20'. Perfect way to bring the shipping charges down. The white one should be sold but it won't be easy. It's a very cool truck.
