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.

Flagstaff Arizona

We are presently in Flagstaff Arizona. After 3 nights in Sedona with no sewer or dump, we decide we have seen enough. I got on the Internet to see where else we can go. Turns out I found a campground in Flagstaff that was getting good reviews so I decided to check it out. We are at J&H RV Park and it is every bit as nice as the reviews. We will only spend one night here then it’s back on the road again. The drive here was only 66 miles and only took us about an hour and a half but it was one of the toughest we have done. Actually it wasn’t tough on us but tough on the motorhome. It is up hill all the way from right out of Sedona and really steep in places for miles. This is the first time I have had to manually drop this Alison 5 speed down to 2nd gear. I never did drop below 45 mph and only for a short time. But the Motorhome handles it like a champ. It never complained a bit. Stayed nice and cool and responded admirably to my shift and accelerator commands without hesitation. So today I just sat and talked with the owner while Susan did some laundry. The owner is a very witty person and is real fun to talk to.
