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.

Hershey Pennsylvania


Click on photo to enlarge

We are in Hershey Pennsylvania and this place smells like chocolate. I am not kidding. When you drive down Chocolate Avenue (what else) past the factory you really can smell the chocolate. We visited Chocolate World and took a simulated factory tour. This is as close as you can get to a factory tour. A short distance from Chocolate World is the Hershey Museum. The museum takes you through the early days of the town created by Mr. Hershey. We didn't get a chance to see the Hershey Gardens and the Car Museum but there is always next time. There is also an amusement park called Hershey Park. Needless to say, this place is loaded with kids.

The park we are in is nice but a lot of the sites are a real challenge to get yourself level. Ours is better than a lot even though my right front tire is hanging in the air and there is quite a leap out of the motorhome. We made reservations late so we didn't get full hookups. We only have water and electric. There is no cable at our site and the trees prohibit us from seeing the satellites for our DirecTV so we are stuck with the 3 channels we can pick up with our roof antenna. But we are only here for 2 nights so we will survive.
