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.

A change of scenery

We have a change of scenery today. We left Havasu this morning at around 9:30a Arizona time and arrived in Temecula at 4:00p California time. That’s about 7.5 hours. No, I didn’t drive 7.5 hours! We stopped in Havasu to fuel up the motorhome and car, and then stopped again in Hemet to do our shopping. I would say I drove about 5 hours, which is still over my limit, but it was a good drive. The weather was ideal for driving. It was in the low 70s and pretty much no wind, even the windmills in Palms Springs were still. I don’t think I have ever gone through there without seeing at least a few windmills turning. I am serious, there was not one windmill turning! As we were traveling through Palms Springs we ran into a traffic jam. I heard a trucker on the CB ask what the hold up was and another responded by saying it was a motorhome that (what I thought he said) broke down. As we approached the scene, the motorhome wasn’t broke down, it was burnt down. What a sad sight to see. I hope everyone got out OK.
