In the autumn of 1949, they bought a 1938 Ford schoolhouse motorbus inwards Little Chute, Wisconsin for $255.

It grew 5 feet longer inwards forepart amongst a homemade auxiliary twine jump suspension.

 A novel Chevrolet cab-over truck forepart hood was rebuilt to the same proportions every bit the Northwestern 400 diesel fuel educate engine.

When the household unit of measurement had grown, the Galesville Limited needed to survive expanded again. This fourth dimension the motorbus was extended 5 feet to the rear. Then a novel Buick consummate amongst Dynaflo transmission for most $500. This was installed inwards dorsum of a Ford truck raise axle modified to run backwards.

The extra 5 feet gave them room for a total double bed, a crib for the youngest, additional closets too a washer too dryer too every bit air conditioning. Then they were hit to complete their honeymoon trip to Washington D.C. inwards 1952, sixteen years too vii children later.

They tried to take in solid seat down capitols along the way, towing a Jeep behind, simply Indiana had a 40-foot length limit, thence they had to disconnect too drive it separately. The Limited was 33 feet and, amongst the hitch too Jeep, it totaled 45 feet.
