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.

What a Dump


I have a link for Park Reviews but this one warrants a front page mention.

We decided that since the Lost Hills KOA had such a bad rating that we would drive an extra 1.5 hour down the road and stay at the Pyramid Lake “Resort” in Gorman CA since it had a better rating. What a joke! I have not figured out what constitutes a Resort. Some of the Resorts we have seen are worse than a lot of the campgrounds we have stayed at. This park would normally be a drive through however we had been on the road for 4.5 hours and there was nothing for another 2 hours. This is a Western Horizon Membership Park. This is an Excellent reason why one should not buy into a membership “Resort”. This place is a Dump! They warn you about the rattlesnakes when you check in. The grass has given way to what weeds could even survive the neglect. Their cable TV has about 7 channels and none of them are clear and most are not even watchable. I couldn’t even level the motorhome the site is so far off. I could go on and on with the things that are out of order and dirty and run down. Good thing this is only a 1 niter.
