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.

Still in Temecula

We have one more week here at the Pechanga RV Resort then it’s off to the Indy Car Races in Fontana. Believe it or not, we haven’t even gone into the casino yet. I have done a pretty good job of whittling down my fixit list in the last couple of weeks. There are just a few items left, but I need to pick up some supplies first. It seems however, that every time I take one thing off the list another goes on. The other day the wind kicked up a bit, and I failed to retract my awning soon enough, that it pulled the awning arm loose from the side of the motorhome. I fixed it so that will never happen again by drilling clear through the wall to the inside and replacing the lag bolts with through bolts and large washers and nuts inside the motorhome. Fortunately it is in an inconspicuous location so you don’t see the hardware from the inside. Now in order to come loose, it will have to rip a large hole in the side of the motorhome.



I don’t know if you remember, we had a new Granddaughter just before we left on our journey last December. Being back here in Southern California, we have had time to get acquainted with her. It is going to be difficult to leave again after getting to know her. Grand kids are so cool.

As you may recall we spent the month of April in Florida visiting Susan’s Cousins. Well Jim has come to Southern California to participate in a Celebrity Golf Tournament. Last night he invited us up to Laguna Beach to have dinner with him and Jennifer. What a nice time we had. They sure are good people.

The weather here in Southern California has been absolutely fabulous. I just hope it holds out for our 2 months here as Camp Hosts at San Elijo State Beach.
