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.

Avoca Iowa


This town is like something you would see in a movie. It is a very small quiet country town. There is actually a Drug Store on the corner in town. The park host says the town closes at 10:00p. The sheriff imposed a 10:00p curfew. We only drove 2 hours today. After yesterdays drive I wasn’t ready for another long haul. We are at a County Fairground Campground. We were actually going to stay at a campground across the street but after taking a look at it decided the Fairgrounds Campground looked better. We are on grass under some nice full shade trees with full hookups and all for $10. The only problem is the biting flies. I think if we were across the street we would still have to contend with them. You are on an honor system here. You fill out the envelope and put your money in and slip it into the slot. There is a Camp Host here that keeps an eye on things. He is from Oregon and is really friendly and helpful. He helped me pick out a choice site, helped me back it in and even trimmed a tree branch because he was concerned I would scratch the motorhome. I would really like to sit somewhere for a while but haven’t found any thing worth staying for at the last few stops. For two days in a row now, I placed the satellite dish on the tri-pod, went inside to get the settings and it was right on without any adjustments needed.
