We have a park model in Val Vista and spend the winter there and travel in the motorhome for the summer (we're at Thunderbird in Monroe right now). We will probably do this for a few more years, then when it is to much work to handle the DP, we will spend most of the year in Mesa with maybe a couple of car trips to higher elevations during July & August. I love having the PM for the winter - leave all winter clothes there, all of the decorations, etc. After 9 years in the MH 24/7, it is nice to spread out for a few months and recharge the batteries.
