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.

Rapid City


We have made it to Rapid City South Dakota. We made a one night stop over half way between Sioux Falls and Rapid City. The drive was a straight shot but very windy. I am real happy the way this Workhorse Chassis handles a strong cross wind. It wasn’t a struggle at all. There is not much on the road between Sioux Falls and Rapid City. We have traveled through forests, bayous, and corn fields. But the travel across South Dakota is nothing but rolling hills of nothing but wheat fields. You can see for miles and not even see a tree.
Of course we got here in time to get setup just before the thunder storm hit. The local news says it should be short and then it will get hot again. We will be here for a week so I will have time to get things cleaned up again. We plan to do a lot of touring and hopefully lookup some friends that live here in Rapid City.
