The Dog House

Honey I shrunk the Monty!


Ok...   I've had a bunch of questions so it's time for some answers.

We are in the process of selling our house.   We had a contract but it fell thru
due to the buyers being unable to complete financing.
Regardless...  it will sell sooner or later.

So...    We need to move some stuff west and be ready for the day it does sell.
Plus
We are here now...
We are planning on a Winter Quartzsite trip.
We are planning on a spring Alaska Trip.
That's a lot of back and forth trips to the East Coast pulling the Monty.

So my diabolical mind comes up with Plan A.

Kate - why don't we get a Truck Camper for all the back and forth trips?
Lets leave the Monty in Arizona.

An thusly...  The Dog House is Born.


I've always wanted a TC.
It's what we were shopping for when we bought our first 5th Wheel.
But that damn salesman had to show Kate how big a 5th wheel could be....
It was all downhill from there.

But now I have mine!
Its about as big inside as my old sailboat... perhaps a tad smaller.

But it adds a whole new dimension to our travels.
The Monty is great for when we are spending lots of time in one place
and just chilling.   It's a full fledged home on wheels and luxury abounds.

The TC shines when we are traveling to lots of different places and doing lots of
sightseeing.   We can get into the smaller National Forest Type Campgrounds that
we prefer.  We can pull the boat behind it.  It is simple and easy.
We can get it into any place that I can get my pickup truck into.

It doesn't replace the Monty - it adds to it.
It creates options.

It has all the comforts that Monty Hall has...
Just in a more compact size.


We have hot and cold water, a bathroom and shower, Satellite TV and Microwave.
Stove, Oven, Refrigerator, Freezer, Air Conditioning, and built in Generator.


So...
the plan is to move it tomorrow into storage for a few days.
Then after that -  swap Monty Hall for the Dog House and head back
East.   Then in December head back west with the Dog House and Swap it
for Monty Hall and do the Winter Quartzsite thing.
Then Swap them again and head east.
Then come back in May and swap them for Alaska...
Are you getting dizzy yet?

And Shelly - We get our green beans from lots of places.
My favorite place is Sweet Marias.

I'm sure that soon we'll be enjoying expressos in the Dog House too!
