Enjoyed the tour of Quartzsite. Thank you! The junkyard of RV's was amazing. As some have mentioned there is a boom of RV sells. With the "times" that we're in, buying one or a camper van and then purchasing a few acres of land to build upon; a cabin, plant a garden etc., is a wise move.
Get it together Dave.. hahahaha (I'm just kidding). Lol Know, But really.. I'm Glad that you didn't get hurt from the bike from the bungie being wrapped around your tire
Just a red prickly pear cactus - Both the green and the red fruit makes awesome jelly. The cactus fruit, sometimes called a "Prickly Pears" are very sweet and can be eaten raw, right off of the plant. Depending on the level of ripeness, they can range from slightly sweet to syrupy sweet. --- cows love prickly pear cactus if you singe off the needles .. -- Operator Error!
Love my time with you and Scotty. My dad has a 1930 Model A Ford with rumble seat. I’m send you a picture. I love junk yards. I went with my daddy as a youngster! Hugs to you and Bella! MommaFaye 🌺
Dave that property were the RV lots are has been sold. It has been bought by pilot and it is going to be a full service truck stop with showers, store, restaurant, mechanics, fuel, and scales. They are also opening another small gas station on the other side of town.
A salesman for Camping World near me said that the Covid has stopped production of RVs and RV parts. He said they have 1200 vehicles waiting in service for parts to arrive. Some of his new Class C's have arrived with steel wheels because manufactures have a backlog of the Alcoa wheels waiting to be produced. He is buying up every good used RV with low miles that he can to keep their inventory up. Good video Dave. Love junkyards.
Cool Exploration, always wondered where the old beat up RV's went, now I know, I'm restoring an old 78 E350, might have to do some Exploring myself, cool Video! 👍 🤠
I think I saw Cousin Eddie waving at you through a window at that first lot. He must having been shopping for a newer RV and hinting at an invite for Christmas. lol! Must have been fun roaming around looking at all those old RV's that someone enjoyed in another time. If walls could talk... Thanks for sharing!
That would be interesting looking for parts and things that come in handy....Looks like most places were pretty quiet. Each experience though is a journey in knowing.
When I come around old gas ⛽ I always look at the price per gallon on it, it helps date when that pump was last used! And funny to see .20 or .35 a gallon!
LaMesa only brings units over for the season.... THEY ARE NOT OPEN YEAR ROUND. Soo Sad because the building on that lot used to be a great fun bar and huge restaurant. BTW you would have to be nuts to buy an RV in Q and later the dealers are long gone. I spent 10 years there full-timing for the whole winter season in the LTVA's.
cary goforth.......not just RV's. Boats, ATV's, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles and all other toys people have bought on credit. People with CASH will have a field day.
Hey Dave! I can certainly relate to the “missing files” from my GoPro 7 Black! I made a video not too long ago about visiting a botanical garden place close to my house...for ten years of passing this place back and forth, and, having never been in there I decided to change all that. Now keep in mind I’m 68 years old and definitely out of shape since I retired from trucking...for thirty minutes I’m walking around and what I ‘thought’ was recording...I happened to look down at the camera and YUP! no blinking recording light. You can imagine my mental anguish! So, I stopped and took a very much needed breather...well, actually the fifth one at that point...and started all over again! Grrrrrr! Needless to say it wasn’t as exciting the second time around as I’d already seen everything practically. So, NOW, I’m having to fake it like it never happened! Geez! Isn’t life fun! Lol! Stay safe and God Bless!
My very first car was a 1961 2 door Corvair, medium blue. I complained about it filling up with smoke when I drove it and my daddy found a 1962 4 door that was light blue with a white top. I drove that car for several yrs until I could purchase my own. I look for them a lot now and you don't see that many out this way now. I hope that was an engine Randy could use. I feel so bad for him. I hope he gets his rig running soon. HUGS~Donna
Distraction. It was Distraction that messed up. Distraction loves to get involved whenever fun is being had. Shiny Object, Distractions cousin, likes to only bother certain personality types lol.
Hey Dave great to bum around with you. We seen lots of good stuff. One thing I did see was a so called friend not picking up your bike. We saw them fall, no ones fault and Scott picks up his bike and leaves yours. Dave do you think you would have just picked up yours? No. You would have picked up both, that’s what real friends do. Time to move on buddy. You and Bella and all your friends......yea you by yourself. WOW! Sorry Dave but that is just wrong. Cheers!!!
Cool cactus. Looks like a good guys afternoon out. I'll let it pass this time with no Bella time but don't let it happen again Please. (opening doesn't count)
Looked like a cool place to visit. I always liked going to junkyards. It was interesting to see some of the cars they would have. Sometimes you looked at shape of some and wish you could almost drive out and repair. Some you would look and knew how expensive they were new and now unfortunately are now parts for other cars. I going to move to Pahrump NV soon and saw online a video here on a big yard just outside of town. Looking forward to going out to it. It's called BROTHERS. but be advised if you visit drive a truck or one of your cars you do not mind driving on gravel road.
RVs are flying off the shelf here in Jax. They get posted and marked as sold in less than an hour. It's been crazy! I found one in TX that I made an offer on. It's being inspected tomorrow so praying that comes back good.
looks like a ghost town , except for the traffic , every time I was down their it was a mad house , lots of good people , old china keeping me away this year , hoping for 2021 . interesting tour you guy's are are doing , looking good .
Hey Dave!! Thanks for the stroll around Quartzsite with you and your friend Scotty. What a better way to kill time than by looking at “retired antique rv’s” that were something great at one time-had seen their better days. I really enjoyed seeing those antique cars which you don’t see everyday either ,you know? Glad yours and Scottys bikes survived that fall. Have you ever thought of investing in a pop up camper? I know they’re not as convenient as one like the Bounder,but very comfortable and I loved camping out in one . My friends parents had one and I camped out with her and her parents a lot. It was a coachmen I believe. Well, hope that new and exciting adventures await you on the road ahead Dave,Bounder,and the Bella -be safe!! Until next time, later love to you Bella sweet girl 👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to have an old winnebago..box style..but I'd settle for another hitop conversion van..good luck..you will know it when you find it..hugs to you n bella✌💜😊
I thoroughly enjoyed you two together on your bikes. Did you little boys take your baseball mitts and ball? Did any big boys try and knock you off your bike and take them from you? To boys just cruising all day , exploring. As long as you got home before dark, mom was ok with it. LOL I am sure some of those RV's were abandoned in the desert. Get place to get parts near where all the people break down and live in old travelers. Some of those could be fun for a project to fix up if you were hanging around in the area for awhile. It would be something to do during the winter if you had the gumption. Loved the funny old cars. Great little outings that didn't include gloppy food stop.
You seem to be sad leaving Florida , who knows you might make it home at sometime . My gal lives in Orange Park just south of Jacksonville and has been urging me to move there with her . I am about to give up Missouri winters for warmer places . Stay safe , have fun Dave . Give Bella a rub for me .
All the RV dealers in Q are seasonal except that one over by Loves. My guess is they don’t have enough inventory or they come in mid December for the Jan crowds.
Awesome junk yard! Can you answer this question about Rv motors: is an RV motor still good if hasn’t been ran a lot? I see RVs listed for sell maybe 20 yrs old but only have 20-30,000 miles on them. Have they had motor problems or just been sitting not going all these yrs. ? Would you buy one like that? Would it more likely have problems than say an RV with higher miles? Thank you to who ever sees this and answers!
Looks like prefect weather. Some of those vans reminds me of cousin Eddies RV from national lampoon's Christmas vacation. I just put a down payment to build a caravan. Should be ready Feb, I'm going to travel around Australia during our winters. Looking forward to learning off your channel
Aloha from Hawaii what a life you have it looked like a bike chain at first, Ppl are leaving maybe it's because they are not producing them due to unavailability of Parts. Does RVs look in pretty good shape I guess if there's nobody there you can't look in them that would be fun they don't have RVs too much over here in Hawaii. Those are classic Cars my parents own that old Buick
That one that Dave was looking at has to find a new location. The land owner sold the property to Pilot. It is going to be a full service truck stop. When they are done building it they are closing their other one in Quartzite. They also bough a small lot on the other side of town that is going to be a small gas station.
1st time I've come across your channel. While you lost footage, I really enjoyed your Junk Yard tour video. Great idea! Also, I bought an eBike only about two months ago and really love it. A fat tire mountain bike style like yours. (Maybe you have a few videos on your channel with more content of your eBikes. I'll have to look.) I think bicycles travel at a pace that's ideal for sight seeing. I.e. walking is too slow and often times motorcycles and cars are just too fast. So I'm excited about my new eBike and hope to use it quite a bit in the next number of years.
Bottom of Q mountain. That lot is only filled up in the winter. Should of stopped at the main trading post across from pilot. Year round resident, can find almost anything in quartzsite Arizona name is phil...
Next time you run across a rv scrap yard. See if you can find me a coolant reservoir for my 94 Bounder. 😃 lol I really need one. You can contact me on the Bounder group.
Hi Dave 👋 just us 2 Saying hi and thanks again 👍 hope you find the part you looking for 👍 keep safe and say well and safe travels 👍 oh tell Scotty and Terry hi from across the pond 👍 where it's raining cats and dogs 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
sometimes.... just bumming around and goofing off is very good therapy for your well being
Love looking at the old scrap yards, those old beauties were once someone's pride & joy!

So many beautiful aged remince of dreams that died....lol...love rusted metal...and old mechanics...good video
Dreams that died or dreams fulfilled !
@@craigtarbox3499 could be....👍😁
Awesome! Guys day out... 2 of some of my favorite youtube guys, enjoy life.🙂
Get it together Dave.. hahahaha (I'm just kidding). Lol
Know, But really.. I'm Glad that you didn't get hurt from the bike from the bungie being wrapped around your tire
Awesome an amazing old RV that where need to be see yah Dave and Bella hugs always
Oh boy! You cracked me up with the bungie cord! That's something that would happen to me LOL!

Some times it's nice to just schlop around ! If you enjoy riding your bike, than sure go for it! See ya on the next one! Take care Dave!
It’s cool to walk a scrap/junk yard. Never know what you’ll find. 👍👍
Oh yea really i love it...
Hey Dave! Was very cool getting to say hello to you on the north shore! Your videos are great!
cool stuff! Glad the bungee didn't shoot you backwards😂
Bungee Man...yes enjoyed as always and be blessed♥
Thanks for sharing
Dave, that La Mesa RV lot is a seasonal lot.I think they load it up in January.
I love looking at all this stuff in these junk yards in museums that you go to this is great fantastic video
He picked up his bike and left yours, lol!
I noticed that too. Gee, thanks a lot.
Love my time with you and Scotty.
My dad has a 1930 Model A Ford with rumble seat. I’m send you a picture.
I love junk yards. I went with my daddy as a youngster!
Hugs to you and Bella!

Cadi camper was so cool!
Enjoyed tagging along and looking at these old treasures. Your right, if only they old hunks of metal could talk! Fun day.

Cool. Neat to see old rigs.
Anyway always cool to see what you get into. Take care. Thanks for the share. Peace.
hope you had fun guys
Hey Dave no bungee jumping aloud on the e bike! Lol have a good one!
Exactly. The RVs were a good part of the family it’s almost sad looking at some
Another great one Dave ,say hey to Scotty too.love following you all in your group.Stay safe God bless

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
I did enjoy the video! Thank you.

good update
Check the bank repo yards in a year, they'll be full plus cheap.
I believe your right cary goforth !
good point. i guess i have to figure out how to find a "bank repo yard"..probably an easy phone call.
@@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679 it is around here.

7:06 wait for the fruit to make prickly pear margaritas or jelly 🙂
I just bought your sticker for our camper van. Now kiss & scratch Bella for us. Love your videos, Cant wait until we are out there boondocking.
AWESOMENESS, Brother!
I like the old rv's.
Hey Dave. It was great meeting you and Bella. I hope to run into you again.
Some shouldn't ride bicycles some shouldn't drink some should not do both
Call Randy about that engine. Gonna start calling Randy 'Eyore' if he doesn't cheer up some. Hahaha
Bad engines most of them.
My parents listed their class A (1999) and it sold sight unseen in under 5 minutes!
That was fun looking at all the old RV'S 😊
Super Dave
You're too early for La Mesa to be open. Probably January. They aren't year round.
Hopefully the Free Pancake Breakfast too...
I love QUAZ! You were probably there during the cooler season.
There's nothing like a classic car. Simply beautiful!
Give it time there full only at the season

It's hard to fake the enthusiasm only found in the first time through! I know that!
Cool
Those big ole Executives were just like the first big one I ever had. It was a beast!
Built in Lebanon Mo
The rv lots in Q are seasonal .
Fun trip with Scott to town keep on it.
Thanks
Cool bone yard RV lot and video. Even if part of footage went missing. Thank you for the video. Have a blessed day.
Cool video.

Great video Dave. Loved looking at the timely RVs. You wonder where they have been in their lifetime.🤗
I bet every one of the old RVs on that lot has a story to tell if they could only talk.
You know they do !!!
Distraction. It was Distraction that messed up. Distraction loves to get involved whenever fun is being had.

Loved the RV "Retirement Lot"! I took a 1983 E350 Rockwood & remodeled it into a very nice home on wheels! Thanks again Dave for showing the old ones!
Cool cactus. Looks like a good guys afternoon out. I'll let it pass this time with no Bella time but don't let it happen again Please. (opening doesn't count)
The Corvair Monza Spyder, air cooled. turbo charged, was a pretty neat car back then.
I had a 1962 spider in 1965 while in high school, really enjoyed it. PS I still have my trophy earned at Hobbs track
Yeah, Randy could use that motor.
I found a burned class a w/38k on it for $1000. ALL the running gear was fine.
Sent a message to Randy about it and never heard nothing....
Dave, just like with telescopes COVID has caused a massive run on RVs. No one can keep them in stock.
Those purple cactus are Prickly Pear.

I would buy an older model low mileage RV but before it got used it would be completely serviced from front to back before it started rolling
It looks like it's going to be a rough winter in sunny Arizona
The Farmer’s Almanace says Arizona Nevada, and California will be warmer than normal.
Always pass thru the Q on the way to Parker with the boat, never really drove around town much
