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.

I hate wind

The wind was howling last night. I figured it would calm down by morning and our drive would be an easy one. Wrong! We woke to the same winds as last night. Susan asked if it would be OK to drive in such winds and I told her it won’t be fun but we can do it. Most of the trip we were heading straight into the wind so it wasn’t so bad except that the motorhome kept dropping out of overdrive with such a headwind. At times when the road turned we were fighting a cross wind that was pretty wild. All I could do was hang on and try to keep it in a straight line. This went on for about 40 miles. Not a fun ride. Finally we dropped over the mountain and all was calm. Whew! The motorhome handled very well in the wind.
We got to the Elks Lodge early and after setting up Susan took off to pickup our Grandson. He was so excited to see us.
