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.

Desert frog


Found this guy last night sitting out on the concrete slab. Didn’t think we would find toads in the middle of the desert.

Things happen slowly around here and they are on a different schedule than most. There is a lot of construction going on in the park, being there are a lot of new owners such as ourselves. The thing is the workers like to start work at 3:00am. I can understand why since it is over 100 degrees by 10:00am. There are many projects that look as if they have been abandoned, however they are just waiting to be completed. I suspect this will be an ongoing thing for a few years since they haven’t even broke ground on phase three yet. We are going to wait until we return in January to start work on our lot since I am going to some of the work myself and it is just too hot right now.

As if it’s not hot enough right now, they are saying we are going to have a heat wave this weekend. Whew! It’s pretty bad when the water coming out of the cold water tap is about 120 degrees. People around here have turned off their water heater and since it is insulated the water from the hot tap is usually cooler than the cold tap. We are leaving Monday for the coast and this will most likely be the last time we spend a summer here. We will return in the winter for a couple of months.
