They’ve sold thousands of models to owners throughout the U.S. and Canada. They are simply something everyone should own due to its interesting apparel and amount of space. But, the space might also have a negative impact on your household. You will probably have to park your car in the street since this will take up all the space in your garage. And that’s the exact reason why the owner had to sell it. He received about $6,000 for his prized possession.
