4 . Margie and John Stites were picking out carpet and hardware finishes for a new 3,000-square-foot home here three years ago when Margie Stites came to a startling realization. “We’d already put a $17,000 deposit down, but I didn’t want to have another house again,” said Margie Stites. “I cried for three days; it was so hard.”
When the couple rolled a 41-foot Monaco Knight motor home into the Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort, it was supposed to be a temporary stay while their dream house was completed. But the resort became their permanent place when the couple found something unexpected: an area with all the facilities of high-end gated suburban communities, without the upkeep and bother of a traditional piece of property.
The resort has a terra-cotta-roofed clubhouse, five pools, two hot tubs, a fitness center, tennis courts, twice-weekly water aerobics classes and a nine-hole putting course — all at the center of a maze of 407 lots where owners and renters park RVs (recreational vehicles).
The Stiteses canceled the house and instead bought a 35-by-80-foot lot for $95, 000 in early 2016. They added an outdoor barbecue and bar, an expansive roofed living space and a large storage cabinet that also houses a washer and dryer. “I can’t tell you how many people have come to town to visit us and seen the property and said, ‘Oh, I would never leave,’ ” Margie Stites said. “They say to us, ‘I had no idea you were living like this.’ ”
The Stiteses are not alone. Eugene McCord and his family sold their 4,400-square-foot home in 2017 to live here in the motor home full time. “You quit shopping for furniture and many other things needed to equip a permanent house,” McCord said. “You buy food in reasonable amounts. And this can be cleaned in 30 minutes, so you have more free time.”
Sales of motor homes, and the whole RV industry, have boomed this decade, owing largely to both the rising number of retirees in the United States and the increasingly relaxed view employers have of telecommuting. Vast improvements in mobile technology have made it possible for younger adults to pursue careers and a vagabond (漂泊的) existence at the same time.

The street was formerly part of London-Oxford road which began at Newgate, City of London, and was known as Oxford Road. Oxford Street follows the route of a Roman road, which becomes one of the major routes in and out of the city.
Oxford Street is one and a half miles from end to end. Most shops are open from 10 am to 6 or 7 pm. Many are also open on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 am to 12 pm. Oxford Street is best known for Selfridges (塞尔福里奇百货公司) and the other big department stores that are all found in the section from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus, along with most of the big-name multinationals (跨国公司). Oxford Street is said to be the busiest shopping street in Europe.
Between the 12th century and 1782 Oxford Street was known as Tyburn Road, Uxbridge Road, Worcester Road and Oxford Road. By 1729, the road had become known as Oxford Street. In the late 18th century, many of the surrounding fields were bought by the Earl of Oxford, and the area was developed. It became popular with entertainers. During the 19th century, the area became known for its shops.
Oxford Street is home to a number of major department stores and numerous flagship stores (旗舰店), as well as hundreds of smaller shops. It is the biggest shopping street within Inner London.
