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.

Plans change

We intended to stop for a night in Alabama but when we got there I wasn’t ready to stop driving. We continued on and stopped at the first rest stop/visitors center in Florida. Since it was only going to be a 1 niter we did a Walmart in Pensacola. I asked the Walmart greeter for permission and after granting it I got to listen to his whole life story. Some of those ol’ guys really like to talk. Well after picking up a few items and dinner this Walmart night cost me about $50. Who says camping at Walmart is free?

I took a chance and made a reservation for the next stop. I figured Florida will be like California as far as reservations being a must this time of year. I don’t like reservations incase the place is a dump but we made a good choice this time. We are at a place in Tallahassee called Big Oak RV Park. The place sure lives up to it’s name. We are parked under some giant oaks. This place is so nice we decided to extend our stay through the weekend. The place is full but they found a spot under the oaks where I can share power and water with a nearby site. This is fine with me since the other guy is using the 30 amp outlet and I am using the 50 amp outlet. We have no sewer hookup but with my holding tank capacity this is not a problem. They even have free WIFI internet. I am not sure what there is to do around here for a weekend but I am sure we will not have a problem finding something.
