Try these 2 places. I have never used either but have a friend who has used AZ Salvage with good luck: https://www.azrvsalvage.com/

CFerguson, very true or want you to jump thru hoops to get it. Another thing in a snowbird area is to list last seasons prices on their website.

Plattsburgh, NY.

redcrzr, sorry you missed, and we would be glad to have you folks. The next Yuma Get Together will be Wed. December 9. Same time and same location. I don't know off hand about other Yuma area doings but of course during January, there are quite a lot of things SKP affiliated in Quartzite. If I can be of more help, just PM us. Have a great and safe day!

There are several things that enter into the mattress size. One poster above mentioned about a king being too long. Will the mattress work so the slide will go closed? Can you get around it because if not, it immediately becomes a PITA? Also will the mattress fit on the bed "super structure?

Wednesday, Nov. 11th, 2020 at 10 AM, Foothills Food and Spirits. Exit Foothills Blvd. I-8 and is on southwest corner of S.Frontage Rd. and Foothills Blvd. As always, breakfast or lunch can be ordered. First Get-Together for the "winter season". All SKPs are welcome. Social Distancing and masks will be followed.

mhs4771, last night we were watching PSU/OSU football game on ABC East. At exactly 8 PM here in Arizona ABC East went dark and also ABC West went bye-bye. Sometime during the night both came back but now are going again. No doubt they could screw up a "one car funeral". 

Second Chance, you did the correct thing in my opinion. Here in Yuma, there is a lot of what we call 100 pounders refilled at the pump joints. I watch them slide them out of the pickup bed and after being refilled "lift and shove" them back in the bed. Hopefully they are that "easy" to unload and place the tanks at the residence. Not for me, for sure!

Another thing to keep in mind, is there room for it?

It really doesn't matter to me. I only clicked on it early on and it just wasn't for me. And I just went to the travel log forum and the numbers going on it have been dropping for the most part. 

Certainly agree with Ray,IN. and Agesilaus. I've looked at it a few times, more fluff than content in my opinion. That riding down the road and looking into the squirrely camera or in the RV just doesn't work for me. 

Like Ray,IN said, the propane alarm will go off if batteries are out gassing. Check your batteries and converter for charging.

Nope, been with them since 2003.

remoandiris, if you have an electric landing gear on your rig, what sort of remote did you use?

Yep, Just surfed there during a game, and sure enough like you said.

Yesterday, ABC West reappeared but not ABC East.

Looks like sometime after the NBA Finals game last night, ABC East and West again disappeared from the Direct Distant Networks deal.

Jim & Alice, no problem. Since we have been here for so many winters I certainly try to help folks out about the area. You know, sort of like the Beach Boys song, "I Get Around".

Had ours sent Priority, a week ago today was when we called. Scheduled for arrival last Saturday but showed up Friday, the usual time frame, Livingston, TX. to Yuma, AZ.

Vern, thin water here in the Foothills at Yuma, drinking coffee on the patio at 5:30 AM. 74 degrees.

Yes, pinger it is open. Dentistry and meds. Border crossing open 6 AM to 2 PM. No exceptions!

Algodones is open for meds and dental. Be sure to call your dentist and get an early appointment. Border crossing is open 6 AM. to 2 PM. You must be back in the US by 1:59 PM or spend the night. If driving, you will have to go west to Mexicali or east to San Luis to get out.

rynosback, as a 17 year "winter veteran" in Yuma, the number 71 is close. Several years ago the Yuma Sun came up with 73. Now all RV parks are not created equal. Some were built before slides and have never upgraded. My definition of them is, "I can pass a ham sandwich back and forth to the next neighbor or if I have dually, I may have my choice parking it or putting the awning out. Amenities can range anywhere from 0 to more than you want. Big rig friendly depends on the park. Several on N. Frontage RD. are close to the RR tracks. They just vary. My advice is to always come into a park for maybe a week, drive the area and physically scope out parks. Amazing what you will find. Never make a long term reservation with out eyeballing it first. You could spend a miserable winter. Due the border crossing with our northern friends, who knows. They pushed it out again to October 21. If they open it will they come. Many Canadian rigs in parks all set up including park models etc. We now have our own RV lot out in the Foothills. Like a poster said check CL Yuma vacation rentals. They are now starting to really appear. It is really what you need or want. And of course many Canadians own property out here so no one knows for sure what will give. I talked to a park manager a couple of weeks ago and she only had 2 Canadian cancellations but said that they were looking more at the last week of this month or the first week of October for more. They did have quite a few US folks on a waiting list, but will they feel comfortable coming. I'm not into numbers per say, but they are way down here. Games etc. could be cut back for social distancing. A craft show friend of ours told us that most craft shows won't start until 2021.  

If I can be of anymore help just PM me. More than glad to help.

Jim and Alice, it is no problem crossing at Algodones for meds and dental work. The crossing is only open 6 AM to 2 PM. That may be the reason the parking lot was closed if later in the afternoon.  If doing dental work make sure the dentist knows you need to get back across. Walking at this time is no problem other than high temps. But a big warning if driving in, 2 PM means 2 PM, not 2ish. Just like the slammer, your in the cell. If you are in line driving to get out and the 2 PM deadline falls, you have two choices, drive west to Mexicali or east San Luis. Their hours are longer but wait time may be long at San Luis due to it being a huge commercial crossing. If you are caught in the walking line, maybe you can bunk in at the auto body shop or upholstery shop.

Best to call your dentist to make sure they are open, most are. Pharmacies and dental are open, trinket shops and restaurants are shut down. Please mask up!

Agesilaus, I don't know of a shuttle service that comes into Yuma, although there could be one. Many dentists have a shuttle service that will pick you up at the crossing, take you to the office, then return you to the crossover.  

I do all the work on our fiver but A/C other than changing out a thermostat and filter cleaning. When cleaning the coils with a hose, do you shoot in from outside or vise versa? Thanks for any info.
