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.

We are camping

This is the first time since we started our Fulltime journey that I have felt like we were camping. We are in a campground In Geneva-On-The-Lake in Ohio for the fourth of July weekend and it is full of campers. Not RVers but campers. We are in a large open grassy area where you just find a spot and setup. There is water and electricity spread through out so if you got here early enough you can at least have power and water. We missed out on all the 30 amp power and all we could find is 20 amp power. There are families everywhere and people out mingling with others and helping each other out. It is a far cry from some of the RV parks we have been in where you might not have any contact with your neighbor other than maybe a friendly wave or a nod. Here you have the sounds of people having fun, kids playing, the smell of campfires, and the sound of fireworks all around. Fireworks are legal here, heck they even sell them at the local Wal-Marts. I think it is going to be a noisy and entertaining weekend, but we are ready. After all the touring of Washington DC, Gettysburg, Hershey, and Niagara, we are ready to just sit for a while and do nothing. This is the perfect place and a good long weekend for that.
