    Great video, chuck full of good information for all the campers. My wife and I were full timers on the road for five years, but had to retire from the road due to just old age and health issues. Now living in a 55+ community in Palm Springs, California area but enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing.

    Howdy There. I just found your channel, and thank God I did. I'm a kinda-Sorta Native, living in Southern Utah, and I've been through Quartzsite 110 times, but have Never stayed there overnight. Even now, I'm a tad reluctant to show up during this RTR Freakshow, but as you say, 'Whatever Floats Your Boat'. Wheather I take the plunge to arrive during this Event starting/going on right now, I will appreciate the info you posted regarding Where to camp. Thank You. More Later about who I am, and my channel, which is just about to be Aired. God Bless Always.

    Another great video, thank you. Looks like an amazing place to visit, especially this time of year, when I am sitting at the house waiting for a snowstorm to hit in a couple of hours!
    Cheers and safe travels

    Good info!👍I'd probably stay for free & away from the crowd most of the time and leave when the weather got too extreme.

    Great video. Good info and tips. Love your secluded Campspot. Being able to swap out your neighbors at the turn of a key is the best. That’s a great luxury. Looks like you’re having a great time. Enjoy. Be safe ✌🏻🇺🇸

    Steve, have you seen the new Tab 360? Pretty awesome with the single bed and side dinette, perfect for solo traveler.
    You don’t hang out with a group, I would imagine there are advantages to doing that, even a small group, no?

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  2 дні тому +1

      Yes, I love the 360! When I win the lottery I'm getting one. I've only been full time for 6 months, when I get to know more people or pay to stay at an LTVA I'm sure I'll find my group! Happy Camping🏕️

    Interesting fact , MrBouse that the town was named for was one of the few people that have died from a rattlesnake bite!

    Thank you sir for the information. My wife and I are 1st timers,will be there in 2 days. My only concern is, have you had any problems with leading the camper unattended while going to town? I have read about some people having things stolen. Stay safe and take care

    • @alwayslearning2291

      Great, informative video - we'll be 1st timers (minivan camping) also. We're also interested in your thoughts about leaving things (such as a Clam or tent) unattended while in town for most of the day.

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  День тому +1

      This is a great question that comes up a lot so expect a video. The short answer is yes, It's safe to leave your camp, I do it all the time and have never had a problem. Use common sense and keep things out of site if possible. Don't camp right next to a main road. I just got a new neighbor, fellow nomad, and he asked the same question, we agreed to watch each others camp so now I have another layer of protection. Nothing will be 100% safe, when you get this many people there will always be a few bad actors but don't let worry ruin your Adventure! I hope you have a wonderful time, Happy Camping🏕️

    If it rains, how soft is the wash to cross with a minivan once it stops raining. It's it packed pretty decent or is it soft and risky to cross?

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  3 дні тому +1

      The small washes like the ones in this video are fine, there are large washes that are very sandy you can get stuck in when it's NOT raining so beware.

    Would you know if there is any places that offer free shooting ranges near by?

    • @myshoeboxadventures

      Believe it or not, Quartzite has a golf course and right next door is a shooting range, outdoor of course🤠

    How cold does it get in your tab, in the morning, steve?

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  2 дні тому

      I don"t run the heat at night and the TAB is usually about 10 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. If it was going to get down to freezing I would set my thermostat 10 degrees above that. Great Question!

    What’s the deal with not being self contained and within 500 ft of a pit toilet?

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  2 дні тому

      that's only at the fee based LTVA areas, there are no services of any kind on free BLM areas in Quartzite.

    • @timsforcoffee
      @timsforcoffee 2 дні тому

      @@myshoeboxadventures Good to know. I thought it applied to all BML land. I live in Canada. When I was in Moab the dude at the info center told me that you had to be self contained to camp on the BLM land. I'll have to look into this May when I go back there. I plan on visiting Quartzite in May as well. I know the LTVA will have changed and the weather. I just want to see first hand what it's like there.

    Where do people dump their tanks?

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures  23 години тому

      If you're camping on free BLM land there are several places to go, I like the RV Pit Stop. I get my propane, fresh water fill and dump my tanks, last time my total was $20, not bad!
