The other evening as I walked my puppy, we encountered a very strange looking vehicle sitting under a light pole in the parking lot of the Belmar Library. It was so strange I just had to learn more about it.
Soon, I was talking to Jan Vorster, a retired metallurgist from Johannesburg, South Africa, and his wife, Leone, a librarian. Jan was sitting in a folding lawn chair alongside his armored, custom-built motor home. Leone had been in the Belmar library, using computers to access e-mail and send messages to their two daughters in South Africa.
It turned out the Vorsters have been traveling the world a total of five years out of the past nine. They have driven from South Africa, north along the length of Africa to the Mediterranean and then across Europe and across Russia to Mongolia.
This year, they shipped their cumbersome vehicle from South Africa to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Then they traversed South America, crossing the Andes to Chile and then northward across Panama, Central America, Mexico and entering the United States at Texas.

>Gone are the days when recreational vehicle parks were rustic campgrounds with dirt roads, wooden picnic tables and a single pay phone. Now many of them, like Outdoor Resorts Rancho California, in Aguanga, in Southern California, where the Schields own a lot, resemble country clubs, with their manicured lawns, golf courses, clubhouses, swimming pools and tennis courts. Some parks are going even further and adding water slides, spas, restaurants and summer camps for children.
The lifestyle in these parks doesn’t come cheap. A parking spot, which can be a plain concrete pad or have “build outs” like an outdoor kitchen and bar, can cost $68,000 to $280,000. At Aguanga, a concrete pad generally sells for $80,000 to $120,000. A monthly fee of $330 includes daily trash pickup, water, sewer, cable TV and golfing for members. Owners can rent out their lots when they’re not there for $55 a night.
