    We're probably not going back to Quartzsite...

      @@NoSticksNoBricks this was our second time coming to Quartzite for the Big Tent and the Rock and Gem show. But we stay about 10 - 12 miles out and really enjoy the atmosphere. We rotate between an RV park and boon docking . And will probably be back again. But next winter will be Florida for family reasons.
      Cheers!

      I can tell by watching your video. Quartzite is not for you and you are not for Quartzite. You like those fancy RV parks more money than brains first time I found your channel not for me. I have been to the big tent twice A bunch of overpriced garbage. Have a good day. I call it like I see it.👍✌️

    The desert bar is not worth destroying your vehicle to get there. We will never go back there again. The roads are HORRENDOUS!!

      I’m sorry to hear that. I think the road there has lots of signs saying the road is for off road vehicles or That’s the point of the bar.

    We are still bummed we didn't cross paths in Q! And where you were camping was crazy dusty! That is nuts with your Jack pads & hope the new ones work well & have to add snap pads. And great concept for a for a flush safe & hope the remodel doesn't leak! 😂

    Great video Jason! I recognized Chris and Katrina in the video. I was laughing at you Jason with Chris on the walkie-talkies. How was it up there at that bar with the food good and was the food inexpensive or expensive? No wind storms out here to be pretty bad when it gets really windy out one time with the wind being so hard out here our back patio furniture got topped over and it was glass table. We had waited it down too, and it still blew over and the table broke, and then the wind was really windy. I think it was last week and a top of over some more of our stuff outside, but didn’t break anything thank goodness and we’re waiting on some rain too. We are very little about a week or so ago just enough to make your car dirty as they say after I just washed it it’s fun watching you guys all camping out the Quartzsite. Hope you all had fun is nice having a caravan of friends that you can hang out with. How are the RV pads working out hooked up? Sorry to hear about your RV with the awning toppers, I forgot what you call them. I hope it’s still working out for you with them after you repaired them. You are a great repair man. I’ll have to call on you for repairs at our house lol I know Jen’s gonna be proud to have you around. Hope you guys have a great week and weekend and see you next weekend and travel safe.

    We have never been to Quartzsite. We don't even like to be around beach sand too long. Those hydraulic plates look like it should be a recall. Bolts easy to get to when it's bent like that. I've seen his bolts come loose and people hane lost the plates. I put an old belt around mine with vice grips so I don't damage the piston. I put a water meter on my mine but its easy to forget. Nice job Jason.

    Water valve is great idea...I ruined a travel trailer once for that exact reason! I overfilled the tank and flooded the rear of the trailer.....particle board underlayment doesn't hold up to that....I at least salvaged the trailer frame and made a utility trailer from it...insurance covered the loss ... and that really surprised me...didn't total it but gave me enough to cover what I had into it...plus got the frame from it. I will be interested in one of those for sure!

How come Slab City can handle the good, bad & ugly comment and still have loyalty but in 2025, I never seen so many veteran vehicles nomad complaining about Quartzite and ready to check out . When everybody goes to one spot every year, it gets boring and stale. From November- March, nomad should rotate and spread around and find other Quartzite in Arizona Arizona
