Winter 2015-2016. 110 days in the Roadtrek.
We began looking for a suitable "Mothership" for the Arizona site - Step 2
In the early winter of 2015 we settled in and set up house keeping on the new site in Arizona. I continued to perform my consulting work, using the Roadtrek as an office. However, the shed could have been set up as an office. In fact, I continued to work for another 4 years.
While I was away on a business trip G began researching 5th wheel RVs at nearby RV dealerships. Upon return from a business trip, I joined her in the search. I did a lot of online research of manufacturers, floor plans and we discussed pros and cons, ad nauseum. We spent a lot of time at a consignment website. Their floor plans, descriptions and prices were very helpful. We decided if we couldn't find anything locally that we would head to Texas and see what was available.
However, after 110 days in the Roadtrek we were ready to return the Roadtrek to its primary role as exploration vehicle.
We did a lot of outdoor cooking. For one thing, we are both good cooks, and we have different styles and cuisines which complement one another. G has an Italian background and I a German one. We can both bake, too. G favors the Mediterranean approach with olive oil, and I go toward butter. But we're ambidextrous; for example, I make an awesome ratatouille and G's rum cake is very popular.
Cooking outdoors reduced the clutter in the Roadtrek, and made housekeeping easier. We could do clean-up in the shed.
Breakfasts were sometimes made indoors. Mornings can be cool.
At those times we didn't feel like cooking, we could go to the resort bar and grill. Of course, there were lots of nearby restaurants, too.

We had the option of making some extensive modifications to the shed, but I didn't want to convert it to a living space.

We also did a good amount of sightseeing and exploring of the area.
Meanwhile, I continued my work related travel, sometimes by air and sometimes by rental car
Consulting, sometimes at the customer's site. Several locations:
