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.

Were running out of cold

Yes the weather is shaping up nicely here in Havasu. Today was around 77º with little breeze. But the real reason I say we are running out of cold is because our refrigerator has sprung a leak. RV refrigerators work on a mixture of water and ammonia using an evaporative method. Well, we got home from dinner last night and as soon as we stepped inside the coach we could smell the distinct odor of ammonia. I knew right away what it was. I went outside and stuck my sniffer in the access panel behind the refrigerator and sure enough that’s where is was coming from. Right away the figure $2000 came to mind. This morning I called a few repair places and I was pretty close on the price. Our refrigerator manufacturer has a recall going on for this exact problem however ours is not on the recall list. I will be giving them a call though. So far though the refrigerator is staying cold. I don’t know how much longer it will stay cold and it will take about a week to get the parts and get it done.
