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.

We are still in Yuma



Are our motorhomes getting bigger or are the sites getting smaller. We thought the Indio Rally was tight. We at least had room to put the patio awning out. We are so tight here we can reach out our window and shake hands with our neighbor. The sites are gravel, the power is only 30 amps, there is no cable TV, and the end of the US Marine Corps Air Station runway is right across the street with jets taking off and landing all day. Other than that, the park is very clean, well taken care of, and everyone is very friendly. We are having a good time. And besides, we just noticed on the news that it is raining back home and it is sunny and beautiful here and the sunsets are killer.

I mentioned in the previous writing that we might not get to do what we came here for, well all is back on. The Bus Nuts have room for us at their rally so we will be sticking around for that and the Rexhall picnic after.



We are on Arizona time here. It is similar to Day Light Savings Time which should not be a problem. The problem is, during Day Light Savings Time everything and everyone change. Here we have to be aware that we are 1 hour ahead of our friends and family in California and our Satellite TV is 1 hour behind. We plan to change Sat TV feed when we get closer to the east.
