A few pictures of our new home in Titusville

Today we washed the motorhome and did a few more things to complete the motorhome set up.  We put up the visor that goes on the end of our awning.  We hung the lights on the awning. Put on the wheel covers. Got some things inside set up so we are now pretty much ready to start enjoying the place.

This park has about 1600 houses, rv sites, or a combination of rv site and house.  Our neighbor has a fifth wheel but he also has a small cabana room and a work shop/storage area a few feet outside his fifth wheel.  The cabana is one large  room about 12' x 15' along with a bathroom with a shower and a closet.  He uses this for his children to stay in when they visit but also this is the main room they live in.  They primarily eat and sleep in the fifth wheel but do most of their living in the cabana room.  Other sites have small houses built next to where they park there motorhomes or rv's.  Other houses have garages with 14' doors where they park their motorhomes. 


After the first of the year there will be over 3000 people here.  That is why there are so many things to do.  Last year the park we were in had about 300 sites so this park is much larger.  Its called The Great Outdoor Resort because of the balance they have between home sites and nature.  They have natural areas separating the rvs.  While we have neighbors on both sides of us we don't have anyone behind us and it is a grown up natural setting.  This is pretty much standard throughout the park.  Our neighbor is Don Payne, a retired fire fighter from Orlando, and the President of the Condo Association.  All of the lots here are privately owned.  Many owners, like the lot we are on, choose not to use the lot but rent it out.  Don has lived on his lot for ten years and has never seen the people who own the lot we are on.  Similar to what we learned at the park we were at last year owning a lot is not something you would want to do to make money due to the taxes and hoa fees that you have to pay as an owner.  People who bought early may have gotten great deals but at today's prices the numbers to buy to rent out don't make sense.  Huli looked at a lot today that had a place to park your rv and a small unfinished cabana house and they wanted $110,000 for it. 

Here are some pictures.

 The visor makes the patio much cozier especially at night.  You can see through it but it does give you more privacy.  Since it was raining the golf cart is under the awning.

 We could have backed up another six to eight feet but we needed to stay forward for satellite reception and so we could use our visor.  The visor needs to be staked down in the front and moving back anymore would have gotten us into the round patio where the table is.  Even being forward on the pad still leaves us plenty of room to park the golf cart and the car.

The item you see under the front of the motorhome is the charger for the golf cart.  When no rain is in the forecast we park the golf cart in front of the motorhome.   Since today it would rain for ten minutes and then it would be sunny and not a cloud in the sky.  This is pretty typical for Florida weather. At night we park the golf cart out front and hook it up to the charger.  We put down the vinyl sides to keep the rain out of it. 

Here are some deer at a site across the street.  They don't seem to concerned about the two men talking close by.

This street is really into Christmas decorating.  Awesome.

 Here you can see a section in the middle of the house that has a roof over the motorhome parking spot.

 

 Here is a house that has a motorhome garage built into it.
