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.

Wade North Carolina


Click on photo to enlarge

We are in a little town called Wade North Carolina. The drive here was scenic. We took all the back roads and some of them were barely wide enough to pass another car with the motorhome, but what a nice drive. The pace was slow and the view was great. It seems that every house we passed had a front porch with porch swings or rocking chairs. You can tell life around here is slow paced. The traffic was light by California standards but there were a lot more vehicles on the small country roads than I expected. It could have something to do with the holiday weekend. We ended up in a KOA park. Usually we stay from the KOAs because most we have seen are run down or way over priced for what they are. This one came highly recommended and is really nice. As you can see in the picture, the sites are huge. They gave me a KOA discount card so maybe we will be staying at a few more down the road. The charge for the card was $14 but then they gave me a $14 discount on my site because I had the card so it was basically free.
It looks like we are going to have a fairly quiet Memorial Weekend, doesn't seem to be too much to do around here. We will just have to sit back and relax, what else is new huh? Last night we sat out by our faux gas fire pit listening to the guy a few sites over plunking on his banjo and enjoyed the evening.
