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.

I can’t see the Satellite

We are at Fort McAllister State Historic Park near Savannah Georgia. The woods are so thick here that my satellite dish can not see the satellite. I found a very small opening in the trees and tried for about an hour before giving up. We get about 5 channels on the Antenna so that will do for now. It turns out I messed up anyway. We ended up at the wrong state park although this is a park is nice. Actually this was our second choice. The first one, although Woodall's RV park guide gave it 4 out of 5 stars, ended up being small, cramped, right on a major road, and a bit scary looking. We are about 26 miles from Savannah and the park we want to be in is about 10 miles from Savannah. Don't ask me how that happened, I have no idea. It's not like we have to be anywhere at anytime. We paid for two nights so tomorrow we are going to see if we can get one night back or transferred it to the other state park and we will move. The drive here was nice. We were going to stay off the interstate and take the back roads but I messed up my back and thought a 2 hour drive would be better on my back than a 3 hour drive. Don't worry, I'll be OK in a couple of days.
Well my new weather radio works. We were sitting today relaxing when an alert went off. Seems there is a severe thunder storm heading through the county northwest from here. It should not effect us at all except for a little lightning. I narrowed the alerts by programming in the county we are in and the county nearby instead of the default "any". Now the only alerts we should get will be a real concern.
