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.

Just about done

We were supposed to get a roof yesterday but no one showed up.

Well as you can see they did show up today. It didn’t take them too long to install the complete roof. Now Our Casita doesn’t look like the oddball in the neighborhood. It looks pretty much complete. It still needs the final plumbing and electrical done inside along with a few minor things but it is pretty much done. All in all, it went together pretty quick and I am happy with the results.

We had planned to take off Monday to head for an RV rally in California but the last weather report I saw said 65 MPH winds. I don’t think so. We might wait until Tuesday and break our 2X2X2 rule and drive 5 hours to the first stop.
