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 blustery day

Didn’t do much today. We were having gusts of wind in the high 40s today. It all started last night or I should say early this morning. I heard a commotion outside and peaked out to see my neighbor wrestling with his torn awning. I was going to head out and help but it looked like he and his wife had it under control. The wind didn’t let up until around 6:00p or so today. My big excitement was watching the neighbor a few sites down have his awning replaced. His was damaged in the last big wind we had. I made a comment about watching and the installer told me about the time he replaced 3 awnings in Quartsite. He said there were about 60 guys that brought their chairs over to watch. After he was done with that one they all followed him over to the next one to watch and to the next one. Reminds me of the sewer scene in the movie RV. Life is good when that’s all you got to do.
