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.

Sioux Falls South Dakota

We decided not to make a stop between Avoca Iowa and Sioux Falls South Dakota as we planned. However we did stop for lunch at the point where we had planned to stop for the night. We almost were forced to stop there for a while because the motorhome refused to start on the first 2 tries. Finally on the third is started and everything seemed fine. We traveled the last 100 miles to Sioux Falls without any problems. I decided to leave it running while I went in to register just in case and it was a good thing because when I did shut it off at our site it would not start again. After several tries I called my roadside service and found out that they do not do roadside trouble shooting. They will tow us to the nearest service center. We didn’t feel like spending the night in a service center so I told them I would call them back it I couldn’t figure it out. Well with a little fooling around I got it running. I found no fuel at the engine. The problem is, I don’t know why this is happening. Sounds like vapor lock but I didn’t think these modern engines suffered from vapor lock. We got the last site at the park we in and will stay for 4 nights and relax. We have been through to many states in too short of time lately and need to slow down a bit. The car and the motorhome are so dirty. I can’t wait to get things cleaned up.
