A Fireplace in an RV?


People laugh and give me a funny look when I mention a fireplace in our RV. 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'd 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 broken tree limb.)

So we moved up on the hill and I started thinking we'd made a mistake. The small concrete pad barely held our RV, truck and car.

Two days later we noticed the motor home two spaces up from us pull out. Steve immediately called the park manager and found out the space was available. We moved again several days later.

We love our new spot. This pad holds a 16x80 trailer and 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!
