Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

Holidays, OH NO!

Holidays mean something different to a Fulltimer. It means we better get reservations or we will be spending the Holidays in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The campgrounds book up fast. We got lucky and there were a couple of cancellations here at Pechanga RV Resort or we would be out on the streets looking for a place to stay. It probably isn’t as bad as it seems but we didn’t want to wait until the last minute and find the only thing available is the spot in Sleazy Hollow Trailer Park next to Bubba and his howling hound dog. Well we are now set until the Indio Rally on the 12th of January. I am not too happy about staying here for 2 ½ months but at least it is a nice place to stay. We were going to break it up with a few days in the desert but we had the Grandson that we had to get back home. We were also talking about a couple of weeks at the Colorado River but we have a new Grand Daughter coming soon. Then there is the sparkplug wire repair coming up and Thanksgiving then Christmas and New Years. And somewhere in there I need to schedule a day at the Alison Transmission Shop for a transmission program update then over to the Workhorse Shop for an engine program update. There is good reason why they say you should never buy a first years production run, or even the second as in my case.
