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.

Traveling on a weekend…Bad idea


Last night we stayed at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge. What a nice lodge. This place was neat, clean, and huge. There was tons of parking around the lodge but only 12 RV sites. Three of those were non hookup sites. We got there at around 11:00 and there were only 2 non hookup sites left. We backed into one and the guy next door came out of his rig and offered to let us T off his water hookup and plug into the 20 amp receptacle of his power box. That’s all we need. We were set. They had a BIG dance last night and you could hear the DJs music thumping half the night. I did manage to get a good night sleep though.

Today we were heading for the Santa Barbara Elks Lodge. When we got there it was full. No chance until Monday. Back on the road again, we headed for the Ventura Elks. As we were approaching the turnoff some lady was driving so badly ahead of me that I missed my turnoff trying to keep an eye on her. So it was on to Oxnard.

We got here at the Oxnard Elks and got lucky, there was 1 hookup site left. As I was checking in they told me that they are having a big party tonight and it might be a bit noisy. Well it won’t be the first time. This works out OK because tomorrow we will just head on into Fontana and be there a day earlier.
