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.

Welcome to Yuma

I think we are going in circles. We are closer to our original departure site than we have been for a while. I figured we have traveled 1056 miles and we are only 196 miles away from home. We left Quartzsite and made our way to Yuma this morning. Last night we had some pretty good showers in Quartzsite. I thought we were going to have to travel in the rain again but when we woke this morning the sun was shinning bright. The drive was easy and the weather was great. Good thing I fixed the air conditioner in the Aerbus because we used it today.



We found out today that we may have come to Yuma for no reason at all. We were suppose to hook up with the “Bus Nuts” for a rally next week and then head over to the Rexhall Picnic. Well looks like the Bus Nuts rally may be maxed out and there is no room for us. This means we will have to hang out for two weeks for the picnic. As much as we enjoy the Rexhall people, we really don’t want to hang out here for two weeks just to attend a half day picnic. If we can’t get in to the rally we will probably just head on down the road.



The park we are in is a 55+ park. I guess they bend the rules a bit because they didn’t turn us away at our young age of 52. The park is really nice. It is a Snow Bird Park. There are quite a few permanent trailers that have out of state cars parked beside them. We have noticed a lot from Canada.



I found out why this park has spaces available when all the other parks are full. This park is right across the road from the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station and International Airport. We need to pause our conversations often because we can’t be heard over the jet noise. I hope they take a break at night so we can get some sleep. Let’s see, the last place was generators running all night and the place before that was Interstate truck traffic. What’s next?
