PLAN “B”

ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS LAST WEEK WAS TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON PLAN “B”.  SINCE MAKING OUR CAMPER PERMANENT BY ADDING THE NICE SCREEN PORCH, PLAN “A” HAS BEEN TO BUY A CLASS C RV AND RETURN TO TRAVELING IN THE SUMMER AND USE THE PRESENT CAMPER IN THE WINTER WHILE DOING CASINO WORK.

PLAN “B” IS TO BUY A USED PARK MODEL WITH AN ATTACHED PORCH SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS TO USE IN THE SUMMER AND ENJOY THE COOLER MOUNTAIN SUMMER WEATHER.

SO WE VISITED SEVERAL RV PARKS AND LOOKED AT USED TRAILERS THAT RANGED IN PRICE FROM $9500. TO $35,500, AND RV PARKS THAT WERE TRAILER TRASH ALL THE WAY UP TO ALL CONCRETE ROADS WITH A CLUB HOUSE THAT INCLUDED A LIBRARY, TENNIS COURTS, SWIMMING POOL, BILLARDS ROOM, ETC.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS PARK MODEL IS LOCATED IN A MID-PRICED RV PARK IN SHOW LOW, AZ.  THE RENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF SUMMER IS $2550.  THE PRICE ON THIS 20 YEAR OLD WELL MAINTAINED PARK MODEL IS $25,500.  WE TOOK THE PICTURES BECAUSE IT WAS OUR FAVORITE UNIT OF THE DAY.

ON THE LEFT SIDE IS AN ENCLOSED PORCH THAT RUNS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE TRAILER.  THIS PARTICULAR PORCH IS SPLIT IN HALF WITH GLASS PATIO DOORS BETWEEN THE TWO ROOM. THE FRONT ROOM,

AND THE BACK ROOM.

THE KITCHEN, WHICH THE MAN SHOWING US THE TRAILER CALLED A “ONE BUTT KITCHEN”, REFERED TO THE FACT THAT THE KITCHEN IS SMALL AND NARROW.

THE OUTSIDE.

NOTICE THE GREEN CAGE IN THE PICTURE ABOVE?  WELL IT’S IT’S AN OUTDOOR CAT CAGE TO EXCERSIZE YOUR HOUSE CAT.

OF COURSE A REAR STORAGE SHED.

PLAN “A” OR PLAN “B”, BOTH ARE FUN TO DAY DREAM ABOUT.
