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.

What a joke

Today we waited for the Insurance Adjuster to show up. When he showed up, after a 3 hour one way drive from Las Vegas, he spent about 10 minutes taking pictures of the motorhome. Took pictures of the Speedometer, four corners, the VIN plate and finally the refrigerator. I could have done that and sent him the pictures, saving him a 6 hour round trip. We spent more time discussing what they would pay for. He seems to think, if they pay anything, they will only pay for a repair the refrigerator. I tried to explain to him that no one will attempt to repair it due to its location and the factory will only replace it. Well I suppose if I can get the $2000 repair cost out of them the replacement will only cost me a little over half the $4500 replacement cost.

I must be a freak. When I was working, If I returned to my desk and found a message on my voice mail, I would call them right back. I have made several phone calls with this fridge thing and am lucky if anyone will call me back.
