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.

What was I thinking

The plan was to leave Lake Havasu City to get out of the heat. Now we are in Springdale Utah, just outside Zion National Park, where the temperature is well over 100. We have not seen temperatures under 80 degrees for a while now, and that’s at night. It doesn’t look like it will let up for a while. There has been some talk of aborting this trip and heading for the coast. Susan and I would really like to see Utah’s national parks but how can we enjoy it when the temps are over 100. Our next stop may be to head over to Bryce after Zion since we’re in the area.

View from our window

This campground is a nice full hookup park just ½ mile from the South entrance of Zion. The car isn’t even necessary since the town shuttle picks up right in front of the campground and takes you to the park shuttles.

Since we could not head north as planned because of the fires, and since Zion National Park was less than an hour away, we decided to head on over for a few days. We were originally going to come through Bryce and Zion on the return trip. We’ll have to see how the weather and fires pan out and decide if we will continue our trip as planned or head for cooler grounds.
