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.

King City

After a stop over in Gilroy to do some shopping at the Super Wal-Mart we made it to King City. This was 4 hours after our departure from Santa Clara. Only 2 hours of the 4 was driving so it wasn’t bad. While Susan was in shopping I was tearing into the side of the motorhome trying to find the creak I mentioned in the last post. I found it and of course, it has to be very difficult to fix. Looks like a weld broke in the sidewall next to the dashboard. To fix it properly the dash will have to come out (and how many more problems will that create). I will fix the creak, however the broken weld will have to remain broken. It isn’t going to cause any problems so I am not going to worry about it.

We are set up in a nice County Park here in King City. We will be here for 2 nights and while here I will see about de-creaking the motorhome. My nose tells me that there are onions planted in the fields next to the park.
