NORV ORBUS THE 3RD.

MEET NORV ORBUS THE 3rd
A Tiffin "Allegro Bus" Model 43 QGP

With, among other things, a full bathroom in the back and...

..a regular residential refrigerator in the kitchen.

With boats it is called "twofootitis".  Don't know what it is called with land yachts but in our case it was "threefootitis".  Meet Norv Orbus The Third.  He is three feet longer then Norv II, has a tandem or "tag" axel and a bath and a half floorplan.  Now that we are no longer both working all day and we spending more time on the coach we are finding that we need just a little more space.  Other then the extra three feet we are also moving up with some newer amenities and updated systems which will also be nice.  Just a few pictures here with more to come after we take delivery on Thursday the 8th.  On a sad note we are having to give up our membership at Port Susan Camping Club and will be listing our lots for sale.  As it turns out they have a 40 foot rule.  That makes no sense since the roads can handle up to 45 feet and a motorhome can legally be up to 46 feet in Washington.  The rule is rooted back in the mid 1970's but apparently keeping up with the times is not an option for the Port Susan Board so we are just moving on. After a road trip to get acquainted and do a shake down we will stay at our normal winter camping spot at Lake Pleasant year round until we can hit the road full time.  It's a lot closer to Seattle and makes many things easier.  Still, we like our lot at Port Susan and will miss it along with some of our neighbors.
