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.

Yeah it’s hot

We arrived in Havasu about noon today and it was about 100 degrees. I parked, set up the motorhome and thought, this is not too bad. The humidity is low so I hardly broke a sweat, well… Not like in Fontana at least. Then it started to get hot. It’s about 111 right now (3:00p) and hopefully that all the hotter it will get. It won’t start to drop off for another 2 hours or so.

It looks like everything survived the summer on our lot OK. I guess I got the irrigation set right because everything is still alive and about twice the size as when we left. The weeds survived pretty well too. They look bad but they are the type that have one root and cover several feet so cleaning them up wasn’t bad. Everything needs a good washing down though, after all, it is the desert and there has been a lot of construction going on in phase 3. I will be spending the next couple of days cleaning the ocean off the motorhome and car, and cleaning the desert off everything else.

One good thing is, not too many motorhomes are here right now so our view is killer. I suspect they will start rolling in in the next couple of weeks.
