If the Canadian Snowbirds can't or won't come to Arizona, for an example, there are a lot of things that will change. We are in Yuma and very familiar with what our northern neighbors bring. Economy during the winter will take a huge hit. RV parks that have many of the folks that are mobile could mean vacant sites. Many that have park models in parks still will have to pay the rent. The private lot rentals in the Foothills area sure will see a big difference. If they own the private lots, county taxes, will still have to be paid. If they own a house, that brings up huge ramifications. As far as the site rental prices if you mean in RV parks, time will tell. If by December and there are many open sites they could run something like 3 month specials. But the foolish owners have been known in hard times to still jack prices. In other words, roll the dice. We sure do hope you folks will be able to come south!

It's good Twotoes, nothing to really worry about.

Joe and Linda, many thanks for posting on here. Hopefully someone will see it. I'll tell you Willie sure isn't like the dogs we have had. Ours would just get out of the vehicle and dash to the vets office but the brakes came on at the door threshold and had to be carried in.

Twotoes, we are sitting in Rigby now. In fact we were in Rexburg today at Walmart. There is no need to go back into Idaho Falls to get to US 26. Come west on US 20 from Rexburg to Rigby and jump on RT 48. You will come out on Business US 26 at Ririe and a short hop to US 26.

Have rented once in Tucson, once in Twin Falls, ID. with absolutely no problem. That was using our Escapee's Rainbow DR. address.

Hopefully everybody is OK. I am wondering if Mr. Hernandez might be a SKP? https://www.eastidahonews.com/2020/06/crash-involving-trucks-camp-trailers-cleared-on-highway-20/

I'm assuming you are mobile, so really can't help there. But a number of years ago we were in Johoba Hills SKP Park in Cali. An elderly gentleman had a crane device fastened down to concrete beside his Teton. He could unload the 40's off his pickup, swing them around and put them in the compartment. It was a neat set-up. Personally, I wouldn't have 40's, the 30's are all I want to fool with. And richfaa, here all the time I was thinking they were giving me more propane in my 30's! Know exactly what you mean.

Left Yuma, AZ. June 1, stopped at Boulder City, NV. for 7 days and are now in Twin Falls, ID. Leave here Sunday for Rigby, ID. for 5 days then up into Island Park, ID., West Yellowstone, MT. area for a while.

We have been using the same unit as AL F referred too. No fan or electric needed. It also has a thermostat that when the temperature reaches where you have the knob set it shuts down to the pilot, then when the temperature goes down, it comes back on. We leave some outside ventilation open. I have about the same set-up as rpsinc has. His Procom looks just about the same as our Kozy World. Sure is nice boondocking with it. They are quite popular with the RV snowbird crowd in Yuma, AZ.

Jim and Alice, we don't have a port on our lot in the Foothills, but I just got a second dish, concreted in a steel pipe. I dug a shallow trench from the pipe to near the fiver. Then when we get back to the lot, I simply pull the cable up out of the sprinkler box I buried and hook it to the portable dish hookup on the fiver.

TXiceman, x-2 on the Reese Dual Cam. We towed two travel trailers from 1976-2003 using that setup. Worked very well and there was no need for attaching a secondary sway control. I bought the setup from a person that had an Airstream but sold the trailer. Pull a fiver now but still have the setup in the shed.

Well not surprising, the parking lot is closed until 6-11. https://www.quechantribe.com/article/notice-andrade-parking-lot-temporary-closure

We have never been on Facebook. I sure don't know if we missed anything but we operated before and still operating without it.

If anybody is thinking about using a funnel off a truck pump, my recommendation would be to check out the fuel person on the Indy Car/Nascar circuits and get the gear they use. JMHO.

An update on US 95 due to the earthquake north of Tonapah. https://news3lv.com/news/local/earthquake-repairs-will-close-us-95-near-tonopah-for-two-weeks

I have been seeing quite a few articles about how "hot" RV sales are since shut down started. If this is true, just wait about 18 months and you will probably find a good deal on a hardly used RV.

Linda, it is supposed to reopen Monday. Why they never posted signage at the lot ceases to amaze me. They evidently have taken a page from many other Yuma area business's.

It is suppose to re-open Monday June 1. But I sure would check first!

The public parking lot is owned by the Quechan Indian Tribe. They own it and maintain it. Hundreds of parking spaces and no such thing as a reservation. Commercial buses out of Phoenix use it for dental and med runs. Buses and RVs cost more to park.

I wasn't down, but this AM (Thursday) but it is reported that the $6.00 Indian parking lot is closed. Really don't know more but if I hear more will report. You can still park north along the shoulder of the road and walk, long, hot walk. You can also bike to the border from this point. If you were to do this, make sure you are not parked in the CHP "no parking zone". Your vehicle will be towed and you will need to make a generous payment to the policemen's Ball to reclaim the vehicle.

Dutch 12078, I can't get the above site to come up. So I just went to www.multichannel.com and scrolled down and got the info. Thanks so much for the update.

AS a 17 year snowbird here in Yuma, I don't know or ever have seen covered sites in the Yuma area. The one Jim and Alice mentioned is probably the best shaded place available.

If you go US 2, keep a sharp eye in Dakota and Montana for the ascending and descending speed limits in and near towns!

Something else, 2 PM means 2 PM. Border closed! If waiting in the drive out line and 2 PM comes around, you will have to drive to San Luis to exit Mexico. If you are walking and the clock strikes 2 PM, best to hop a ride to San Luis.

Lyndee, the amount of gas in the tank has nothing to do with the engine turning over. As far as fuel, I put Stabil Marine stabilizer in the tank when I fill it. You might want to check the voltage coming to the genny when trying to start it.
