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.

It’s getting younger

The days are getting hotter around here and most of the “Snowbirds” are on their was home. The resort is getting real empty lately. I have noticed the population of Lake Havasu is getting younger since the “snowbirds” are heading out and the younger generation is coming in with their boats. Man there sure is a lot of nice boats coming in. Where do these young people get their money?

Today I spent half the day hunting for leaks…in our bed that is. Our airbed has been leaking down on us over night. We wake in the morning lying in a hole. I found the seals in the pumps were deformed and after 4 phone calls to the company I finally convinced them to send me some new seals. This slowed the leaking quite a bit but it was still leaking down over night. Today I went down to Wal Mart and bought a BIG bottle of bubbles, the kind kids use to make bubbles with. I removed the air chambers from the bed and using a paintbrush, went over the whole surface of the chambers. I found a small leak in both chambers. Hopefully this repair will be the last for a while and we can get a good night sleep without waking in a hole.
