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.

Another Great Day

We had another great day with our friends in Arizona. We had lunch at Alice Coopers Place. For those that might not know, Alice Cooper is a Rock Star that is well knows for his bazaar face makeup (see photo above). All the people working his club wares the same makeup. The food was great and the memorabilia on the walls was just as great. Among the sports memorabilia was rock memorabilia including a number of guitars donated and signed by their owners. Among them were Paul McCartney, Eddie Van Halen, and many more.

We also toured a community where you buy the lot and erect what is called an “Arizona Room” and pull your motorhome in next to it. The rules of the community is that you have to have an RV to park next to your Arizona Room. An Arizona Room is similar to a studio apartment. The above photo is one of the more elaborate ones. These are $100,000 to $200,000 lots with up to 1.5 million dollar motorhomes parked next to them. Also we viewed some new homes here in Phoenix, AZ. These Brand New homes are about the same size as the one we sold in California but only cost 1/5th the price.

I finally got a nice sunset photo of Lake Pleasant here in Peoria, AZ.

Well tomorrow is another travel day. We are heading south to Tucson. Looks like it will be a nice day to travel weather wise.
