We like to winter in Arizona, so when we sold our home in California, we bought a mobile home there. Allows us to "store" the stuff we couldn't part with and the kids didn't want...:S....gives us a place to go to and get out of the rig once a year for a couple months. This also allows us to get our physicals done, teeth cleaned, dog physical etc. It also provides us the opportunity to get the annual maintenance done on the coach and schedule any needed repairs/modifications etc.
My in-laws also live in the park so that's a bonus. They can watch it while we travel. No maintenance, no upkeep, space rent is cheap, utilities are next to nothing, ($25/mo) and it's paid for.
We've put 80,000 miles on the coach over the past 6 years so our wheels keep turning the other 9 months of the year. We plan on keeping the coach well past the traveling time and we'll most likely put it in a park somewhere out of the Arizona heat for the summer months once we reach that point.....Dennis
