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.

Ah..Finally a bit of relief

The stock market has really taken a hit so far this year. We are down quite a bit of money. I get a kick out of people that say aren’t you going to get out of the stock market because stocks are going down? I feel like replying, aren’t you going to sell your house because the value has gone down? Well the last two days have been good for our stocks. We have recouped some of the value. I just wish they would admit we are in a recession so we can start the recovery. It’s like an alcoholic, you are not going to recover until you admit you are one. Our property value here at Havasu RV Resort has not dropped, it has leveled out right now because people are just not buying like they have but the values haven’t dropped. Let’s face it, people who can afford several hundred thousand dollars for an RV are not hurting in the financial area.

This weekend they are having an open house here at the resort to celebrate the opening of phase 3. Paul Everet has brought in some $700,000 RVs from Laughlin Nevada and set them up on some lots for sale. I bet one could get a really good package deal. There is going to be food and other goodies. We won’t have far to go to partake.

Susan has just added another race to our NASCAR schedule. Looks like we will be heading up to Wine Country in California for the road course at Infineon Raceway near Napa. We haven’t been to this one yet so it should be a fun new experience.

    We've been to that track...get there EARLY. The spots fill up fast. We got there Thursday afternoon and it was full. Plan to spend a little time in Sonoma, it's really beautiful up there.
