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.

Taking a break from the drive

On the way from Galveston Island to Lake Charles, LA we got to take a 20 minute break. We loaded the Aerbus onto a ferry and took a ride across the channel. This was a pretty cool experience. There are 3 ferries that run the course and they can accommodate many vehicles including 18 wheelers. There was an 18 wheeler along with 2 other motorhomes and many cars and trucks on the same ferry with us. They do a good job of getting them on and off quickly with no problems. Oh and by the way, It is free. Yeah, that's right, FREE. I don't know how they do it, that must cost them a fortune. While on the ferry we have a choice to stay in the motorhome or wander around the deck. I chose to wander. Susan tried but here motion sickness started to kick in so she retreated back to the safety of our home. The drive to Lake Charles was good until we got into Louisiana then I-10 turned into a wild bronco ride. The road was really messed up. It is easy to see that Louisiana doesn't spend much on their roads.
