Our Park Model arrives!

Much has happened, of course, since we first created this blog almost 3 years ago.

It was originally created to track our progress toward purchase of a park model to be placed on a permanent site that we lease in the North Carolina mountains.

After months of research and trips to various dealers and folks with units for sale, we had all but abandoned the possibility and resigned ourselves to parking our Airstream travel trailer on our site as a semi-permanent vacation getaway.









On one of our trips to the mountains, we stopped along I-40 to request a quote for a custom unit--a last ditch effort that we figured would permanently discourage us from pursuing a park model. As luck would have it, the sales model had been placed on sale. What we had previously discounted as "doesn't meet our needs" suddenly became very much worth the consideration. We became owners of a new park model, soon to be delivered to our site in the hills.





Two years later, we have added a golf cart, decking, washer & dryer, internet service, satellite TV and some great memories.

The Airstream? It hangs at home waiting it's turn.

In the beginning...

We are two guys from Raleigh that have decided to lease a permanent RV site in the NC mountains. When we first purchased the Airstream 11 years ago, we leased a permanent site in this same campground. But after a year, decided we wanted to do some traveling with it. We have pulled it all over the southeast and mid-Atlantic states...down to Florida, up into Pennsylvania and west to Ohio (the Airstream factory) and Indiana.
"Rivet"
So, we have returned to the mother ship. Our intent this time around is to ultimately purchase and place a park model on our site, leaving the RV at home so we can continue to travel and explore the country.
