A Fireplace in an RV?

People laugh and give me a funny look when I mention we have a fireplace. One person even asked if we had a chimney! Now that would be a sight! :)

I have to admit, a fireplace did seem strange to us at first. And to be honest, if we had ordered this RV we probably would have chosen the cabinet for storage rather than the fireplace.

With dropping temperatures, we've used the electirc fireplace several times this week. A flip of a switch lights up the logs, creates flames and makes the embers glow. Another switch turns on the electric heater.

Not bad....puts out pretty good heat.

We Moved Again!

That's the great thing about living in an RV....it's fairly easy to move.

Steve wanted to move to higher ground in case of flooding. (I wondered about his reasoning since we're in a drought but decided against it. A few years ago he insisted on moving for the same reason and later I was so glad he did. A wind storm hit soon after our move and the canopy of the RV in our old spot was destroyed by a tree limb that was blown down.)

So we moved up on the hill. I started thinking we'd made a mistake. It was a small pad and we were cramped for space.

Two days later we noticed the motor home two spaces up from us pull out. Steve immediatly called the park manager to see if that space was available. It was and we moved again several days later.

We love our new spot. We were told this pad was poured for a 16x80 trailer. (The park was for mobile homes before the flood in 1993.) We have plenty of room for our fifth wheel, one ton dually truck, and car. There is even an extra concrete space behind the fifth wheel for a storage shed.

We feel so blessed!
