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.

Back in Havasu again


We arrived in Lake Havasu City Arizona today just after noon. The Las Vegas NASCAR was a blast. All races and activities went off without any weather delays such as California. We did have a heck of a wind Saturday night. I got up about midnight and closed the slides because the awnings were flapping and keeping us awake. The motorhome was shaking and rocking quite a bit even with the jacks down. Susan finally got to meet her favorite driver Jimmie Johnson and get her race jacket signed. She spent most of the time in the garages and pits watching all the race action. She really likes the Las Vegas race. I will post some pictures as soon as I can.

We got on the road this morning and had a good drive. The traffic was rather heavy getting out of the track but once we got a couple of miles away it thinned out pretty good. We hit a bad bump in the road on the way to Havasu that felt like the back end of the motorhome came off the ground. A lot of Susan’s knick-knacks suffered some damage. I will have to dig out the glue tomorrow and do some repairs. I am also going to dig out my creeper and take a look under the motorhome for anything loose or damaged.
