I need to get a shrink tape ruler like this. I own a skoolie (used school bus converted to a motorhome) which is 35' 4" long from bumper-to-bumper. A lot of campsites have rules where RVs can't be longer than 35'. My thought was to get a tape measure with feet just slightly longer than normal and use it to make my bus appear to be shorter than 35'.
