I had a great meetup on Plomosa road last year. A great turnout. My first actual scheduled meetup. I will have one this year Jan 21-24. Thanks for sharing this info for people coming to Quartzsite.
Can't wait to see you guys out on the road. I'm 68 and new at this stuff. Lost my husband in Feb and we had decided we would sell everything and live this way on the road. I'm going to do it anyway. This is great information. Thanks much! .....Kathy from Sultan, WA
Welcome to the community Kim! We're glad you found it helpful. We spent 3 months at the Q in 2020. Take a look at some of those videos as well. Have a great week!
Today is 1/16/2023 I was watching your quartzite update video and you directed new people to come to this video, so here I am. What a nice video! I just started camping, last year. I'm a retired, single, female, with a Tab 400 teardrop. I've heard about Quartzite from watching "BoB" while being locked down during Covid.( I think everyone knows BoB, Right?) and I'm just interested in it. This video is great! I live in Michigan and would love to have a place to go in the winter, where it is warm. I'm subscribed and hit the bell notifications. So, I'm in! No questions, yet, just want to say thank you for helping me!
Well explained about the Long Term season pass for BLM. Watched many explanations but this one fully explains how it can be used at all the sites in the two state area.
@@jackiemueller205 Why? Don't we all pay enough in taxes? Have you ever calculated how much of your money is taken that way? And want to give them more?
@@byronlemay2166 yes! Cause it don't come here. Just like the people who think they support Quartzsite, you don't. Do you ever come here in summer? You should see the trashed campers left on in the desert. The garbage bags left at cross roads because snowflakes think someone comes and cleans up after them. You know who does that? We do! The people who live here and love our desert. Yes pay for the privilege of camping in the desert. Canadians and all non-residents should pay more, as federal lands are ...for the use of the American citizens...
@@jackiemueller205 My point is that more money given to them won't make it any cleaner...the trash left dumped and the wind blowing it around simply happen no matter where lots of people are. You have to decide if your town being a "tourist attraction" during the winter months or simply a dead truck stop off the interstate is more desirable. In that event the town would hardly exist and there would still be plenty of trash around...perhaps even worse. Pull over anywhere on the way to Phoenix and see all the garbage for yourself. If the BLM says "We don't pick up the trash because we don't have the money"...that's nonsense. And yes, I do support the town...by camping there and spending my money along Main Street for food and supplies. And I don't leave any trash, either. You want to punish everyone for the random, stupid acts of a few. You must be liberal, right? Try to realize that giving the government more money is not the answer...in most cases, at least.
I’m not even sure you both realize how much your followers actually appreciate your videos. Between you, JonesN2Travel, Watts on Wheels, Tipsy Marlin & others every single question I’ve been able to think of has been answered. We can hardly wait to join the full time HDT community! Safe travels! Stay warm! Hopefully your new DRV will be ready soonest!
Thank you so much Tod....we have some of the BEST subscribers EVER! Hopefully we can cross paths one of these days. We can't wait to get together with the "gang" in the desert and share some videos - soon! Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas!
Just found you on my feed. Liked and subscribed. I am doing a no-build build on my old SUV and I hope to be going full time this summer, Lord willing. Thank you for ALL the info. I'm going to marathon your videos. God bless your travels and hope to see you in Quartzsite in 2023.
Hello, I am new to your channel first time watching you guys, thank you for filling us in on how LTVA we are in Alberta Canada and we were going to be spending the winter down their this year up you know why not their right now maybe boarders will open soon fingers crossed .Any way we to have a large rig for our 5th wheel and side by side and we used to be a long haul drivers so guess you can guess kind of rig we have lol everything we have heard of how the LTVA worked was not fully explained .We thought it was only for Quartzite so thank you for showing the other places that we can use the pass at .
Thanks so much B! It can be intimidating but once you figure out the ropes it's a lot of fun. Hope you get a chance to enjoy the desert. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Great info on Quartzite. My wife and I are a few years from retirement and we are trying to soak up all the info on the RV freedom life we can. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind words Chris. Your work is just beginning! The time really just flew-by when we started to prepare. We appreciate you coming along and if there's anything we can produce to answer questions don't hesitate to ask. Stay safe and have a great new year!
Thx for the info on Quartzite I have always wanted more knowledge on that and I hope you’re RV gets moving quickly for you also wanted y’all to know I really enjoy your channel thx
Thanks so much for the kind words.....that really means a lot to us. Glad you were able to get some information from it - we really appreciate you coming along. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
It’s cool to run across you Folks. I am a fellow Nomad. Been wanting to make my way out there. Just need to get ahead, have no emergency funds. But that’s always been the dream. I have been stuck between the city and the coast always having to move around and it’s just been miserable, well hopefully somehow times can change. Just craving that space and peace of mind but I know I’ll get there.
Thanks for this. We stopped by Plomosa Road area and camped (for just one night) with the only other HDT couple there. I loved it and Sue is warming up to it. We scooted back home for the holidays, but hope to get back down there by mid-January. See you then!
Thanks for the idea Marty! You were right....it's a little different and hopefully we were able to shed some light on the process. Glad you were able to stop and see what it was like. Hope to see you this spring. Merry Christmas to you guys....stay safe.
Thanks Linda....Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks for the kind words. We have some of the best subscribers and we really appreciate you coming along!
We are actually considering Quartzsite for this winter. At least for a little while. We’ve heard some not so great things, like the grocery store is very small. We trust you guys though because you haven’t steered us wrong yet. Patrick is more unsure about it. I think it would be an adventure. Maybe we’ll see you there.
Glad you enjoyed it Road Hog....as we said it's a love/hate relationship and hopefully you'll have a good experience. Thanks for coming along and have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for this great explanation. I’m headed to that area in December. I’m a bit concerned about the number of people but you helped me get over that!!
Good info on Q and how/where to get permits. That is 1 place we want to go to when we full time. We will be staying this winter in Sun City but are thinking of driving over for the show and checking out the area and possibly spending the night in our truck. Hopefully you can make it out there. We would like to meet you guys and others that we follow.
Sounds like a great plan! Stay tuned to our Rvillage group as we'll continue to update our location and movement. Hopefully we'll be able to meetup while you're there. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Yes it will Steve....it will be interesting to see how much of an impact there is since our Canadian friends won't be there as well. Have a great time in the desert and stay safe. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for posting so much valuable information... May you be rewarded one day with 1 Million subscribers... I'm close to retirement, thinking about trying the RV lifestyle... what would you recommend would be minimum fresh water / black water tank that I should get ? That is the only drawback and limit to boondocking. How much fresh water you have...
Glad you enjoyed it bluponi. The full time lifestyle isn't for everyone. It took us two years to decide to go full time. We started out with a 2 month trip followed by a 4 month trip. After that we were sold! When we boondock we carry 100 gallons of fresh and have a 75 gallon black. That seems to allow us to go about two weeks...if we're stingy with our water use! Have fun and make some great memories.
Of course I noticed your class 8 rig . You were also parked close to another class 8 I have a class7. Do you regular park or see other rigs? Great in-depth explanations
This is one of the best explanations and info I've seen for this area. Thanks so much. What is your opinion on safety on blm land? Have you ever had any trouble?
Thank you so much! As far as safety, we haven't had any issues, but know some that have had items taken while sitting outside of the RV. We always make sure we have everything locked and put inside before we leave the rig. It helps if you have friends in the same camp too. Thanks for coming along....have a Merry Christmas!
Hey there, is the Quartzite Yacht Club still there? I am a charter member. I think the old place was more fun but the fire took care of that. They rebuilt but just not the same. Great video, great info, thanks!
Last January we camped across the road from a group of big rigs. Very cool. Every evening at 5:45 they blew their horns in celebrating another day. Wonder if you guys were there.
You're very welcome Johnny! We appreciate you coming along and happy it was helpful. Hopefully you'll enjoy Quartzsite as much as we do. Have a safe trip and have a Merry Christmas!
Great video. In planning phase for full-time and this was a very informative video. Very much appreciated. BTW: How is the Internet at Quartzsite? I can see myself working out of there for several months a year.
Great video as usual Folks. I'm sorry it's the wait for the new coach is dragging out. As You said, the Good Lord has His plan. I'm praying it happens soon. Miss You, GOD BLESS
Regarding purchasing LTVA permits from BLM rangers, what types of payments are accepted? Do they take ca$h, personal checks, and credit cards? Thanks. Great video and thank you for making this! 😎
Thanks Jay. We purchased our pass at the BLM office in Yuma which will take all types of payments. We've been told, but can't verify, that the welcome center accepts cash or check only. The BLM website isn't very specific regarding payment types. You can also purchase your permit online here: www.recreation.gov/sitepass/eb34b293-bd2b-4120-b6fa-c18be8184a67
30 years ago it was an awesome event. Now it was mostly flee market style & rock show. This was our first trip back in 30 years. We had reservations in a wonderful campground and enjoyed our stay. Feb was jacket weather. There are several camping spots from Yuma to Kingman along the river.
How about some info about snakes, scorpions, termites etc for us newbies. Anything else along those lines info would be greatly appreciated and nice to know.
I am there now in an RV park with shore power, sewer and fresh water. Restaurant and big laudromat at the park. I prefer it to covid infections at LaPosa South.
Ohhhh 😯 we remember those days! We stayed at Chena Hot Springs one year for New Year's....it was COLD! We sure had a great time though. Thanks for coming along Ronald and have a great week. Stay warm!
When you get to Quartzsite if it's too hot shoot up to Prescott via the Wickenburg route..... What a view up the backway to Prescott thru very tall pines the further north you go..... A Federal Forest Campground called White Spar Campground just about four miles south of the city w/paved roads, bathrooms, water stations....almost certain they have dump too (No Electric)...... then go hangout at the public Square in town. City Hall is in the center of it surrounded with all kinds of cool stores and super big old trees with tons of shade Looks like New Orleans style bars on the west side of the Square and great Pizza on the East Side.....Great place to spend the day and about 30+ degrees cooler than Quartzsite We live in the New River area
Thanks for all the good info on BLM. Quick question. Once you pick your site. And been there a few days. How do you save your site while you pull your rig to Dump tanks, fill water, etc.
Hi Mark....glad you enjoyed it. We usually leave our chairs, door mat and other small things at our site when we dump and refill. Most everyone is pretty respectful and we usually have friends or make friends while we're there that can watch over the stuff we leave behind.
No sand LOL lots of rocks, it is the washes you might have to look out for go up and down them. I am heading to the Q on the 23rd- 4th I will be in the LVTA south. I miss you guys so if you are up there my camp fire is open and pull up a chair. Marry marry Christmas and happy new year. Mass love Drew
Thanks Drew....it sure was a special place for us last year. We'll definitely get together if we can make it while you're there. Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
This was very helpful, thanks. I plan to go next Jan 2022, that is, if the Omicron doesn't prevent us all from meeting up (fingers crossed). I'm taking a Prius from California, wondering if I should get it raised as it sits low, and I'm concerned about the rocks. Thanks.
You shouldn't have a problem. Most of the areas are hard desert rock, but you will find larger rocks and sand in the washes. Have a great time and make some awesome memories!
thanks for the good info. Plan on being in Quartzsite on the 20th. You said something about groups of side by siders. Is there web site to hook up with groups?
Thanks for coming along Bill. We don't know of any...but that doesn't mean there aren't any! Great idea. Let us know if you find something. Have a great time!
Remember etiquette ….if someone is parked already don’t hug up next to them. There is tons of space to land. If you see a group means they most likely hooked up prior. So go play and stay and start your own group of friends …. I love Quartzite. Oh not to forget Vans. Just subscribed the Lord is good. Just got my Van. Will miss AZ this year but Lord willing by next season.
Grand Design holds their rally at Roadrunner in early January. However due to Covid they changed it to a get together at the end of February. We are missing Q and the meetups this winter. I mean we are really missing it! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for the update guys. We can't even imagine missing the Q and all our friends. Hope all is well with you and you're staying safe. Merry Christmas to you guys and hope to get together again soon!
It is a blast Jimmy & Lisa! Last year was our first experience and we're looking forward to a yearly tradition! Thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
I appreciate all of your information. I totally enjoyed this video guys. Good Luck on getting your RV guys. I Live in Edmond, OK. so where are you? I will come and visit.....
Great info guys! Thanks Great info guys! Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you all are meeting with other TH-camrs this year. Would like to at least stop that and say hey
I hear a lot about flooding in the washes can you tell me what you do to be safe from flooding an what to look out for? Thanks for doing this video!! I plan on trying it out this Year !! Blessed Travels
Hi Jim and Kellie! Before I forget MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jim, I love your cap emblem! Where’d you get it if you don’t mind my asking? I have TH-cam channel friends who live in Oklahoma and they’ve said the last week or so has been brutal with all of the snow! Brrrr! Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore in an 18 wheeler...I paid MY dues for 38 years! Stay safe and God Bless! 👍😎❤️✝️🙏☝️
Thanks so much Jim....Merry Christmas to you as well! Hope all is cheery in your neck of the woods. The hat came from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KF2R0EQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Yes, we had some snow, but it wasn't too bad. We're not used to the cold though....time to move onto the desert! We're really looking forward to the day we can get together and have lunch....without masks! Thanks for coming along Jim....we really do appreciate you.
Ah I feel bad for you Jim and Kelly! I was so hoping to see your new rig soon. But everything happens for a reason. It’s in Gods plans. It will happen for you to get the rig it will come. But boy this covid really takes a toll on you though. Sad you won’t be there with Tina and Aaron. But it will all work out. I will pray for you both as I always try to do. You both stay well and I hope you can put out another video before Christmas next week. If not hope you have a Merry Christmas. See you soon. Love you both.
Thanks so much Sherri. Yes we're disappointed, but we're trying to have a positive attitude with it all. We've met some really nice people here in Oklahoma but miss our friends too. We'll make it to Quartzsite eventually....just not sure when. Have a Merry Christmas and go out and spread some cheer! Hope to get together soon....without masks!
Luv your videos. I watch everyone of your videos that I can find. I live in Oklahoma City, I need to Elk City to see some friends. Would like to meet you guys.
Let us know Randy....we're here but have some side trips planned and we're helping some friends install solar on their rig. Best way is to send us an email from our website. Hope we can get together!
Very informative video thank you very much. Last year I was there at Dome Rock, this year La posa South my first time being at LTVA with the next exit Meetup (God will'n). Thanks Don
That's great Don! Bob and Pearl are such awesome people....we hope their meetup goes well. If you get a chance say hello from us. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the Q!
park place rv park 1250 annually 100 month only extra is electric. water n sewer hookups wifi great location lived there year round 2 yrs will return very nice management
So if you're a first-timer who doesn't know anyone, but you'd prefer to not be completely isolated, how can you join a group without inadvertently nosing in on a group who doesn't want strangers joining them? I assume a lot of the groups know each other and return year after year? Also, if you want to unhook and use your tow vehicle to explore and find a spot, where do you leave your trailer while you do that? Do you just pick a random spot to unhook, go find a spot you like, and then move? Are there any organized social activities where you can meet people/make friends?
Thanks for the info, had heard Quartzsite could be a little "clicky", and not what it's cracked up to be. You paint a different picture. Might have to put it on my list once I hit the road next year. Guess it was just another persons bad experience.
It's just like "real life" and we're sure there could be "clicky" groups....but you don't have to hang out with them 😉. We hang out with mutual or new found friends and have a wonderful time. It's sort of like a RV park...if you go for a walk and say hello to folks they will usually respond kindly and walah - you've met some nice people! There are sure to be all kinds in a million campers. Hopefully you'll get a chance to experience it and enjoy it as we do. Thanks for coming along and have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the information. We are planning to head there for the first time this winter. I really appreciate it. Are y’all planning to head down there this year? We would love to bump into y’all and say hello.
Ok, LOL, should have waited until the end of your video. LOL. We’d love to go for a side by side ride with y’all as well. We love ours! Sorry your new coach is going slow for you. God Bless.
Thanks Chap. As we stated...Quartzsite is a love/hate relationship! Hopefully you'll enjoy it. We'll be there this year, just not sure when. We'll post our location as soon as we arrive. Have fun and stay safe!

Can you imagine how great it would be if every state had LTVAs!
I had a great meetup on Plomosa road last year. A great turnout. My first actual scheduled meetup. I will have one this year Jan 21-24. Thanks for sharing this info for people coming to Quartzsite.
Don’t forget it’s cash only for the long term areas. We are out here enjoying the beautiful weather.
That's great info....thank you! Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Not cash only..they also excepts checks

Thank you Peter. We sure do appreciate you coming along. Have a wonderful week and share the Christmas Spirit!
The reason it's free to stay on BLM land is because it's public land. Not because there's no amenities.

Good video. Bummer on waiting for the DRV and getting to Quartzsite
Thanks guys. We'll get there....eventually! See you soon.
Great explanation of the Q.
Hey there, is the Quartzite Yacht Club still there? I am a charter member. I think the old place was more fun but the fire took care of that. They rebuilt but just not the same. Great video, great info, thanks!
It’s still there on Main St.
Just found your channel. Great video. Liked and shared. Used to live in Parker. Love the desert. Stay safe out there and be Blessed.
Thank you for explaining the terms that are floating around the RV and camping utube world. Now I understand what they are talking about.
So glad you found it useful Annette. Thanks for coming along and have a great week!
Thanks. This is the most info I have seen in one vid. Nice rig! First time I saw your channel; good.
Last January we camped across the road from a group of big rigs. Very cool. Every evening at 5:45 they blew their horns in celebrating another day. Wonder if you guys were there.
Normally we would have been there Angel. Those were good friends of ours - but we missed last year. It's such a good time!
@@SuiteTravels maybe we'll see you in 2022.
Thank you for the info. Thinking about heading that way in January
You're very welcome Johnny! We appreciate you coming along and happy it was helpful. Hopefully you'll enjoy Quartzsite as much as we do. Have a safe trip and have a Merry Christmas!
Great video. In planning phase for full-time and this was a very informative video. Very much appreciated.
BTW: How is the Internet at Quartzsite? I can see myself working out of there for several months a year.
I think you need a self contained unit to stay in most areas unless you’re within 500 ft of a bathroom. For instance, if you have a composting toilet.
Best info on this subject I’ve found so far - thanks!
Great video as usual Folks. I'm sorry it's the wait for the new coach is dragging out. As You said, the Good Lord has His plan. I'm praying it happens soon. Miss You, GOD BLESS
Miss you too Allan. So happy you can celebrate the holidays with family. Stay warm and stay safe....hope to get together again soon.
Appreciate your detailed video
Merry Christmas Y'all! Like you said, patience on the new rig. It will happen, enjoy every thankful moment!
Thanks Carolyn....if we don't know patience yet, we're learning! Thanks so much for the kind words. Have a Merry Christmas!
I just found you two, this was very nicely done, and... I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. Yay! 🙉🐱😂🐸🐻🙋 🙋
Welcome Alice! Glad you found us - thank you for the kind words!
Regarding purchasing LTVA permits from BLM rangers, what types of payments are accepted?
Do they take ca$h, personal checks, and credit cards?
Thanks. Great video and thank you for making this!
😎
Thanks Jay. We purchased our pass at the BLM office in Yuma which will take all types of payments. We've been told, but can't verify, that the welcome center accepts cash or check only. The BLM website isn't very specific regarding payment types. You can also purchase your permit online here: www.recreation.gov/sitepass/eb34b293-bd2b-4120-b6fa-c18be8184a67
Expect $45+ per night at an RV park in January. Plus, most do charge for electric on top of that based on the kilowatt hours you consume.
Thanks Keeb.....good info. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for coming along.
We had wondered how this worked. We have not been there.... Yet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Lynn and Danny
You are very welcome Lynn & Danny. Glad you were able to get some information out of it. Have fun when you go....
We were in Parker last week and did some BLM scouting for our big rig off of Shea Road. We had a blast playing on our SxS.
Oh sure...rub it in 😂. We'll get there at some point!
@@SuiteTravels You will get there soon, I have faith and as you said you were meant to be where y’all are, Enjoy the Ride
We are planning on coming to Quartzsite in January. We have never been in this town or boondock. So thanks for the video about Quartzsite
30 years ago it was an awesome event. Now it was mostly flee market style & rock show. This was our first trip back in 30 years. We had reservations in a wonderful campground and enjoyed our stay. Feb was jacket weather. There are several camping spots from Yuma to Kingman along the river.
Thank you for the very detailed information on Quartzsite. Happy New Year to both of you!
Thanks so much Gail....happy new year to you. Let's make this an awesome new year!
I was there for first time same time you guys were there, I did LTVA, love this place.
That's awesome Bob! It's definitely our happy place...
How about some info about snakes, scorpions, termites etc for us newbies. Anything else along those lines info would be greatly appreciated and nice to know.
None of the above A&L. We've seen one rattle snake up in the hills while riding and that was 4 years ago.
Hi ..I love your videos I see all this beautiful rigs ..and here I come in my little silver van 😅 ...safe travels ☺
Great video and new sub! My wife and I are starting our full time travels this August and we'll see you in Quartzsite in 2022! God's blessings to you.
That's awesome...congratulations! Hope to meet up.
I am there now in an RV park with shore power, sewer and fresh water. Restaurant and big laudromat at the park. I prefer it to covid infections at LaPosa South.
-11 HERE IN FAIRBANKS ALASKA! With the wind chillllll=-29😳 Come on up!🤣🤣🤣🤣 You guys have a wonderful Christmas! God BLESS!
Ohhhh 😯 we remember those days! We stayed at Chena Hot Springs one year for New Year's....it was COLD! We sure had a great time though. Thanks for coming along Ronald and have a great week. Stay warm!
When you get to Quartzsite if it's too hot shoot up to Prescott via the Wickenburg route..... What a view up the backway to Prescott thru very tall pines the further north you go..... A Federal Forest Campground called White Spar Campground just about four miles south of the city w/paved roads, bathrooms, water stations....almost certain they have dump too (No Electric)...... then go hangout at the public Square in town. City Hall is in the center of it surrounded with all kinds of cool stores and super big old trees with tons of shade
Looks like New Orleans style bars on the west side of the Square and great Pizza on the East Side.....Great place to spend the day and about 30+ degrees cooler than Quartzsite
We live in the New River area
Thanks for the tips Joe! Always looking for new areas to explore.....have a great week and thanks for coming along!
God bless you both hope your house gets there soon. Thanks for the quartzite info.
Thank you Gary. Hope it was informative for you. We're certainly ready to get back on the road. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all the good info on BLM. Quick question. Once you pick your site. And been there a few days. How do you save your site while you pull your rig to Dump tanks, fill water, etc.
Hi Mark....glad you enjoyed it. We usually leave our chairs, door mat and other small things at our site when we dump and refill. Most everyone is pretty respectful and we usually have friends or make friends while we're there that can watch over the stuff we leave behind.
Just remember... There is NO holding sites and no "I was here last year and made my kiddy rock fort" those rock walls will soon be coming down
Would be nice to be able to dig a pit for a generator if it's portable. Cover the pit.. Gravel and a pallet in under it. Then it's quiet.
Hello friends, thank you for sharing, ?? What about restrooms and showers at the long term site, thanks again!
There are pit toilets scattered around the area, but no showers.
No sand LOL lots of rocks, it is the washes you might have to look out for go up and down them. I am heading to the Q on the 23rd- 4th I will be in the LVTA south. I miss you guys so if you are up there my camp fire is open and pull up a chair. Marry marry Christmas and happy new year. Mass love Drew
Thanks Drew....it sure was a special place for us last year. We'll definitely get together if we can make it while you're there. Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
I'm planning on going full-time in the next few years after I retire. How do you hook up with people to hang with at Quartzite or other areas?
This was very helpful, thanks. I plan to go next Jan 2022, that is, if the Omicron doesn't prevent us all from meeting up (fingers crossed). I'm taking a Prius from California, wondering if I should get it raised as it sits low, and I'm concerned about the rocks. Thanks.
You shouldn't have a problem. Most of the areas are hard desert rock, but you will find larger rocks and sand in the washes. Have a great time and make some awesome memories!
thanks for the good info. Plan on being in Quartzsite on the 20th. You said something about groups of side by siders. Is there web site to hook up with groups?
Thanks for coming along Bill. We don't know of any...but that doesn't mean there aren't any! Great idea. Let us know if you find something. Have a great time!
I’m a newbie to quartzsite and i hope you guys make it!!
Oh we do too Douglas! Have fun with the experience....thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
Very good video guys! Thank you for all this great information! Paul & Magen
Thanks P&M! So glad you liked it....really appreciate you coming along. Have a Merry Christmas!
Remember etiquette ….if someone is parked already don’t hug up next to them. There is tons of space to land. If you see a group means they most likely hooked up prior. So go play and stay and start your own group of friends …. I love Quartzite. Oh not to forget Vans. Just subscribed the Lord is good. Just got my Van. Will miss AZ this year but Lord willing by next season.
Grand Design holds their rally at Roadrunner in early January. However due to Covid they changed it to a get together at the end of February. We are missing Q and the meetups this winter. I mean we are really missing it! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for the update guys. We can't even imagine missing the Q and all our friends. Hope all is well with you and you're staying safe. Merry Christmas to you guys and hope to get together again soon!
Sounds like a blast. We need to check it out sometime!!
It is a blast Jimmy & Lisa! Last year was our first experience and we're looking forward to a yearly tradition! Thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
@@SuiteTravels we would love to meet up and go along sometime.
@@FindUsCamping Let's make that happen! Have you looked at our Rvillage group yet? We update our location and plans there often.
@@SuiteTravels i have not. Check us out at FindUsCamping on RVIllage. We will look you up!!
This is where I plan to go next year, thanks for the info, new friend here
Merry Christmas you two! So sorry to hear you are delayed again!! Be Safe!! sending lots of Love and prayers....
Awwwe thanks you guys! We're really looking forward to getting together soon. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
Thanks for the great info. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you Mike....glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week and Merry Christmas to you!
Fingers crossed 🤞 (everything crossed) for you to get your new rig.🖤💙🖤
Thanks Bells....we're really trying to be patient!
I appreciate all of your information. I totally enjoyed this video guys. Good Luck on getting your RV guys. I Live in Edmond, OK. so where are you? I will come and visit.....
Hi Michael. Thanks for the kind words! We're in Elk City right now waiting for our new rig. Hope you have a great weekend and stay safe.
Well I hope you get your new rig soon.... stay safe
I use to go back and forth monthly from Albq to Okcity… Elk City is the coolest little city between!
Awesome vid!! Thx for all of the info! Blessings all! 💕
Glad you enjoyed it Cyn!
@@SuiteTravels ☺️
Great info guys! Thanks Great info guys! Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you all are meeting with other TH-camrs this year. Would like to at least stop that and say hey
I hear a lot about flooding in the washes can you tell me what you do to be safe from flooding an what to look out for? Thanks for doing this video!! I plan on trying it out this Year !! Blessed Travels
Hi Jim and Kellie! Before I forget MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jim, I love your cap emblem! Where’d you get it if you don’t mind my asking? I have TH-cam channel friends who live in Oklahoma and they’ve said the last week or so has been brutal with all of the snow! Brrrr! Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore in an 18 wheeler...I paid MY dues for 38 years! Stay safe and God Bless! 👍😎❤️✝️🙏☝️
Thanks so much Jim....Merry Christmas to you as well! Hope all is cheery in your neck of the woods. The hat came from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KF2R0EQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Yes, we had some snow, but it wasn't too bad. We're not used to the cold though....time to move onto the desert! We're really looking forward to the day we can get together and have lunch....without masks! Thanks for coming along Jim....we really do appreciate you.
@@SuiteTravels 👍❤️
Ah I feel bad for you Jim and Kelly!
I was so hoping to see your new rig soon. But everything happens for a reason. It’s in Gods plans. It will happen for you to get the rig it will come. But boy this covid really takes a toll on you though. Sad you won’t be there with Tina and Aaron. But it will all work out. I will pray for you both as I always try to do. You both stay well and I hope you can put out another video before Christmas next week. If not hope you have a Merry Christmas. See you soon. Love you both.
Thanks so much Sherri. Yes we're disappointed, but we're trying to have a positive attitude with it all. We've met some really nice people here in Oklahoma but miss our friends too. We'll make it to Quartzsite eventually....just not sure when. Have a Merry Christmas and go out and spread some cheer! Hope to get together soon....without masks!
Luv your videos. I watch everyone of your videos that I can find. I live in Oklahoma City, I need to Elk City to see some friends. Would like to meet you guys.
Let us know Randy....we're here but have some side trips planned and we're helping some friends install solar on their rig. Best way is to send us an email from our website. Hope we can get together!
I watch your whole video and this is the first time I've saw you but I'm a fan of long content
Thanks!
Very informative video thank you very much. Last year I was there at Dome Rock, this year La posa South my first time being at LTVA with the next exit Meetup (God will'n). Thanks Don
That's great Don! Bob and Pearl are such awesome people....we hope their meetup goes well. If you get a chance say hello from us. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the Q!
Thank you for all the information on Quar
You're very welcome! So happy you enjoyed it....thanks for coming along!
Hope to be in Quartzsite in a year or two. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
Thanks Kevin....hope you're staying warm. Looking forward to crossing paths soon. Merry Christmas to you guys!
Appreciate the low down on Quartzite. Great info. Didn’t know how it worked finding places to stay.
Happy to help John! It's a great place - we appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
park place rv park 1250 annually 100 month only extra is electric. water n sewer hookups wifi great location lived there year round 2 yrs will return very nice management
So if you're a first-timer who doesn't know anyone, but you'd prefer to not be completely isolated, how can you join a group without inadvertently nosing in on a group who doesn't want strangers joining them? I assume a lot of the groups know each other and return year after year? Also, if you want to unhook and use your tow vehicle to explore and find a spot, where do you leave your trailer while you do that? Do you just pick a random spot to unhook, go find a spot you like, and then move? Are there any organized social activities where you can meet people/make friends?
Thanks for the info, had heard Quartzsite could be a little "clicky", and not what it's cracked up to be. You paint a different picture. Might have to put it on my list once I hit the road next year. Guess it was just another persons bad experience.
It's just like "real life" and we're sure there could be "clicky" groups....but you don't have to hang out with them 😉. We hang out with mutual or new found friends and have a wonderful time. It's sort of like a RV park...if you go for a walk and say hello to folks they will usually respond kindly and walah - you've met some nice people! There are sure to be all kinds in a million campers. Hopefully you'll get a chance to experience it and enjoy it as we do. Thanks for coming along and have a Merry Christmas!
Don't bother, the RV show is a joke and lots of people don't want you there. Unless your in a 100,000 unit.
Merry Christmas! Hope to see you guys in Quartzsite God Willing 😊
Oh we sure hope so Marsha. It's been an interesting journey, but we're certain it will be worth it. Have a Merry Christmas and hope to see you soon!
Thanks for this information and Merry Christmas to both of you
Thanks William....Merry Christmas to you as well! Have a wonderful week.
You can still go! Many camp in vans or even 🚘 cars!
Thank you for the information. We are planning to head there for the first time this winter. I really appreciate it.
Are y’all planning to head down there this year? We would love to bump into y’all and say hello.
Ok, LOL, should have waited until the end of your video. LOL. We’d love to go for a side by side ride with y’all as well. We love ours! Sorry your new coach is going slow for you.
God Bless.
Thanks Chap. As we stated...Quartzsite is a love/hate relationship! Hopefully you'll enjoy it. We'll be there this year, just not sure when. We'll post our location as soon as we arrive. Have fun and stay safe!
Excellent information on Quartzite. Thanks for sharing. Travel safe.
Thanks Bob. We appreciate you coming along. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
thank you so much for the information. i'm going to be a new traveler.
That's awesome Christina. Good luck in your travels and maybe we'll see you on the road!
Thank you. Very informative explanation. I'm a newbie and this was very helpful.
Oh you're so welcome Julie. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for coming along and hope to see you in the desert!
