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.

Must put it into perspective

I mentioned in the last post that I found a leak in the motorhome. I was feeling pretty down. I would rather be out touring than spending the day chasing down leaks and trying to figure out what to do about it. I then started thinking about my lifestyle. I realized that I could be sitting at a desk, dealing with the problems at work, then I get a call from Susan about a leaky roof on my house. But since I do not have a job, or a house made of sticks, and have no where to be, and lots of time, I can take some time out to deal with my leak. Today I stopped by the park office on my way to Wal-Mart and extended our stay 3 more days. At Wal-Mart I picked up a 3 dollar tube of Silicone and patched what I think is the problem. There is only one more place where the water can be getting in and tomorrow I will focus on that. It’s a maintenance item that should be attended to anyway and won’t cost me a cent. The rest of the day I spent sitting under my awning, with the rain falling, listening to my Sinatra CD, and watching the birds and squirrels eat from my feeder.
I feel better now…
