You can't get the name of the RV park until after you've registered?! Wow!

I always use the "Power" / "Shut Down" buttons on the Start Menu to shut off my computer and have never had it turn back on again all by itself. I rarely use the "Sleep" button unless I'm going to come back to finish up work in a short amount of time and I want to leave some windows open. Even then, I've never had a computer turn back on all by itself.

I got an email from Yuma County last night with this information. I have it on my calendar to call them on Tuesday, 1/19 @ 1:00 PM when appointments open up to see if I can schedule appointments for DH and me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I did a week or so ago with no luck. I should probably check again.

Got an email from Yuma County Health Department. They have no more vaccines and suggested making an appointment in Maricopa County. They gave the URL to do so which happens to be the website I've been using to try and make an appointment in Yuma County. Anyway, changed the Zip Code to a Maricopa County Zip Code -- they had 3 locations where they were giving vaccinations. No open appointments through the middle of February. 🤥

Here's the 2016 Ford Towing Guide. Look up your truck based on engine, cab design, axle ratio, etc., and see what it says your ratings are. Keep in mind that these rating are for a basic vehicle -- no options, no gear, a partial tank of fuel and only one 150-pound driver. https://www.fleet.ford.com/cmslibs/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/Ford_Linc_16RVTTowGuide.pdf Take your truck and get it weighed with all the gear that will be loaded in the truck, and all the passengers and pets that will be traveling in the cab. Once you get the real life weight of your loaded truck, subtract that weight from the truck's GVWR -- that will tell you what your real life payload is. Then subtract the truck's weight from its GCWR -- that will tell you the maximum GVWR of the trailer you should be looking at. Here's a weight calculator that will help you with all the math: Travel Trailer Weight Calculator (changingears.com)

Congratulations! Although Yuma County is now doing people 75 & over, I've still not been able to schedule an appointment. Part of the problem is that the county only gets a small supply of vaccine, they only do vaccinations three days a week and they only have one location where the vaccines are given. I'll keep trying, but if we can't get appointments by the end of this month, because of the wait for the second dose, we'll have to wait until we get back home.

Check before you head to Death Valley. Currently, the campgrounds are closed, although the park itself is open for day use.

Thank you! That's the website I've been using (they have a portal to make an appointment), but I hadn't seen that particular page.

No, but there should be some way of signing up for alerts to notify people when it's their turn.

I assumed that, too. What I'm trying to find out is WHEN they're going to start the 1B group. I haven't found any place where I can sign up for emails/alerts from Yuma County. I'll keep looking, but they certainly don't make it easy to find (and Yuma County may not even be set up to do that since it's such a small county, unlike Maricopa County).

Ordered some dates from a small burg north of Yuma...we normally drive up there to buy, but what with COVID, we've been ordering. The address where we have stuff sent while we're down here is a Winterhaven address. So the package goes from Bard, CA to Winterhaven, CA. From there it goes to San Bernadino and then El Centro -- before ending up right back at the Winterhaven post office where it is then delivered!

How do you learn when a county is going to start? I checked again on the Yuma County website I gave above and I'm still not coming up with any appointment slots. Of course, Yuma County got a lot less vaccine than Maricopa County.

Come to Arizona. They are letting winter visitors get their vaccines. However, at least in Yuma County, they're still working on 1A. I have no idea when 1B (the group I and DH are in) will start to be vaccinated.

I selected private insurance because we have Medicare Advantage plans. If I'm reading this site correctly, they're still doing Phase 1A. We'll be in Phase 1B. Vaccine Phased Prioritization - Vaccine Portal Information | Yuma County (yumacountyaz.gov)

Well, no luck. I went out as far as February 8 without any appointment slots showing up. I don't want to go out much farther because we'll want to be leaving here sometime during the first half of March. We may have to wait until we get back home to get the vaccine.

Yes, it's my understanding that it is. However, the form you have to fill out at the URL I gave, above, asks for insurance information and there's a piece that I'm not sure of. Thus, I'm waiting for a call back from the insurance company.

Yuma County On edit: I think I may have found it: https://podvaccine.azdhs.gov/ You have to sign up and then you have to fill out a form for the vaccine. I haven't completed it yet because I'm waiting for some info from my insurance company, so we'll see what happens.

Barb, are you aware of any registry to sign up for when our turn comes (both DH and I are 75 and over)?

The dealer should have included a water hose and waste hose plus a 4-pack of TP. But, the water hose and waste hose would be cheapies, so you'd want to buy better quality stuff, anyway. Inverters are usually options and normally don't come standard (except, perhaps, on the high-end Class A's). A solar controller wouldn't be installed unless you have solar panels. If you have solar installed in the future, the installer will include the controller, too.

I've used Turbo Tax's program for years and, if you qualify, you can do so for free.

We haven't received word from anyone yet as to where or when we might be eligible to get the vaccine! We'll be in AZ until sometime in March, so it would be nice if we could get it while we're here, but I have no idea where to even start checking into this.
