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.

The road to Charleston

Isn't this terrible? This is what we have had to put up with since we left Florida. Oak covered roads through Georgia and now South Carolina. Sometimes I can actually hear the twang of my CB antenna as we pass under the trees. Some roads I am glad we went down with the car and not the motorhome. The campgrounds have been just as nice. In Georgia we had as many as 8 squirrels and 3 blue jays hanging outside our window at one time.

They would actually run up the tree just outside our dinning room window and peek in the window at us. Here in Charleston we spotted a BIG old raccoon rummaging through the dumpster (in the middle of the day) as we sat under our awning.
We could only reserve our site until Friday. This place is full for the weekend. Normally this would be no problem, we would just move on. Unfortunately this poses a problem. The next stop is Myrtle Beach. This week just happens to be Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. All campgrounds are full. At this point I am not sure what we are going to do. I am going to check the other campgrounds around here and possibly stay through the weekend.
