Park Model, small one-bedroom house built on a frame for towing, just under 400 sq feet so it qualifies as an RV, can be found all over the southwest. Usually set up in RV parks, often with an extra room built on the side, with a large carport/patio area for outside enjoyment. We have one in Mesa, AZ, we pull in with the RV each October, move our stuff from the motorhome to the park model (we do leave all 'winter' things in the Park Model) and then put the motorhome to sleep in a nearby storage facility for the winter. Come April, we reverse and hit the road for the summer. Best of both worlds as far as we are concerned.
Thank You, a very good description. Also note a good used park model will usually cost much less than a similar sized RV.
You can buy a nice one (October is a great time to look as well as March) for $25K or less, often FULLY furnished, right down to all of the linens, table and cookware, etc. We got ours for less than $15K 5 years ago.
