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.

It’s pouring

…And we are leaking. We set out to do some shopping this afternoon and just as we returned it down right poured. They say we had 4 inches an hour. Susan said, “If we have a leak, it will show now.” It showed. There was water dripping out of the light fixture. I removed the fixture, pulled the wires clear and proceeded to dry things out a bit. Suddenly is started dripping from the TV antenna crank. Since this is only 1 foot from the light I suspect they were coming from the same source. I did my best to keep things dry until the delude slowed enough to climb on the roof. After inspecting the antenna area I believe I discovered the breach. I had noticed a while back a spot in a rubber boot that the manufacturer punched a hole in to run some wires. I remember wondering how water never got in there. I applied a temporary patch until things dry out. It is supposed to rain for the next couple of days, so we will see. I sure hope that’s all it is.
