A couple of observations: if you view the article that is one HONKING BIG rig. I *think* they could have got a shorter one.
However..... maybe all this happened AFTER they bought their house. They bought the RV, stored it offsite, no problem. Son got MS, THEN they decided to retrofit the RV (which they already had) for Son's illness and THEN found out about the 2.5' problem of parking it at their house.
AND.... whole house generators are frequently NOT usable during hurricanes or the aftermath. If the gas is shut off for broken/flooded/whatever lines -- no whole-house generator.
I'm also "assuming" they would load everyone up and evacuate the area in the RV if a hurricane was coming. I would NOT want to deal with one stored somewhere else in the panic that was Katrina, and Rita in Houston. I was here for that one.
