Cheap Van Life Living: Live Cheap Camping on Quechan Indian Land

[@rynrandall9761]

You know what I love about Bob the most? He never discounts anything. You have a RV? Great, live in it. You have a car? Great, live in it. You have a tent, YES!! Do it. I've watched so many videos and every one of them always has these dire warnings. Don't do this, don't do that. If you're not this...you can't do this. Bob never says that. He offers things that will help, offers advice, but in the end, he's optimistic about everything. I love that if I come out there and I'm living on my bicycle, Bob is going to be like "This is great!!" He proves time and time again, you don't need to be rich, you don't need fancy stuff and you certainly don't need a 60K RV to enjoy life. Keep them coming, Bob.

[@PackMom]

I love your comment! When times get tough and someone is looking for options, the last thing anyone needs to hear is that there are none. Bob gives people ideas, options, hope, and help. There is much to love about that.

I lived on the Quechan Indian Res for ten years, year around in an old travel trailer. During the hot months I swam in the All American Canal twice, sometimes three times a day, it wasn't legal, but there were ways to do it with out getting caught. Oh, and the name of the Casino was the Paradise Casino. I used to eat their breakfast buffet several times a month. The camping fee during the time I was living there was $36 for three months. From the video it sounds like it might be less now-$86 for a whole year. If you're into being a recluse like I was, camping there is a great way to go. I called my campsite Palo Verde Camp, sure do miss it.

2020 Update: We called and inquired with the tribe about this and we were quoted different prices each time we called (We called twice.) and it was closer to 100 than 86 both times but what was the same was that we were told permits were now good for 3 months. Perhaps as they become familiar with some Nomads who return regularly they may offer better deals. I just thought I'd pass on the updated information we were given.

Americans do pick crops when they have the opportunity. My mother and I both worked in an apple orchard picking apples - and she had a back problem and other issues. And it was no less back breaking than any other kind of harvesting.My siblings and I also detasseled corn and walked beans. Americans - at least rural Americans, will take whatever work they are given. And sometimes they will do it for free even if they are having problems themselves - such as scooping snow for elderly people who can't do it for themselves.

Florida is called the "Sunshine State" because of the "dry season" that affects mainly the southern half of Florida. S.W. Florida (Ft. Myers area) has the largest extreme between its wet and dry seasons you'll find anywhere. From November to May it is sunny, dry, and even low humidity almost every day. It rarely rains during these months. The "Snow Birds" come down to enjoy the warm sunny weather during the cooler months of the year. Then from June to October southern Florida switches over to the rainy season. Fort Myers, for example averages over 10" of rain in June and over 50" of rain annually, with most of it falling during the Summer season. This also coincides with Hurricane Season (June - Nov). But November is usually a sunny and dry month that starts off the "dry season" again. Then for the next 7 months it's very sunny and dry again. S. Florida is also the warmest place in the U.S. during the Winter. It's much warmer than the desert southwest, where it can get quite cold at times during the Winter (even a rare snowfall can be seen in the desert S.W. during the Winter. But the desert southwest is much hotter and drier during the Summer than south Florida. While its extremely hot in the southwest U.S. during the Summer, Florida is very humid with lots of thunderstorms. It rains (thunderstorms) almost every day across southern Florida during the Summer. It doesn't rain all day, but a strong thunderstorm can be expected pretty much every afternoon. The rest of the day is sunny, hot, and very humid.

I hope I can enlighten some minds with this comment. The issue of migrant labor is one of economics. The American field worker is unemployable because they live in America. As Bob has shown us, the cost of essential items and services is much less in Mexico. An equivalent wage for an American field worker needs to be much higher, because they get their essential items and services in America. That significantly increases the final price of the product they would produce, namely fruits and vegetables. The American customer is very unlikely to purchase a $10 head of lettuce. So the agricultural business makes the correct decision for their economics and employs migrant workers. It isn't about Americans being lazy, or entitled, or weak, it is about money.

[@themadlibrarian2933]

What foods a country chooses to subsidize is interesting. When I lived in Germany and England, bread, tea/coffee and staple foods like flour, oil, oatmeal, etc. were very cheap. In the United States, we subsidize corn and corn sweeteners heavily.

[@skittlemenow]

Actually you are ignoring that most of the farming is now corporate and automated. The cost of the produce in markets will not rise terribly much at all. The profit margins will drop slightly that is all that would really happen. If we stopped allowing what is essentially a form of slave labor the worst that would happen is that some rich guys stock would drop half a point. The best is they would have more jobs available to Americans and at wages that would be more realistic.

[@greysilverback3924]

Imix Muan ,the majority of Americans might have nice vehicles and a home with a lot of fancy junk to go in it,but they're all in debt to the banks.What percentage is the average American debt to the banks compared to their yearly salary ? Most are brainwashed to the capitalistic mind set. Pretty sad.

[@brandell4638]

Somebody has been brainwashed by too many documentaries without independent thought. McDonald's hasn't offered super size in many years. McMansions are not about just size. It's a bigger home- but the lack of design, architectural inconsistency, lot size ratio etc are the factors that matter.

[@brandell4638]

And the average American spent only 10% on food in 2013- but you can't compare an African country with the US, that's crazy. The most malnourished people in Africa are farmers. That's a sad fact. Huge USA corporations farming and needing mass workers seasonally can't be compared to independent families renting small plots, doing everything themselves and then trying to get through drought periods.

That explains why in '17 June (115 deg.) I had to clean my windscreen one strip at a time or the water would evaporate before I could squeegee it. I've never seen temps that high, anywhere on Earth.

Bob, another great informative video. You keep doing great ones to keep people informed of where, how, and why to disperse camp. Thank you for all the you do and give to your channel to teach people a new way of living. Thank you so much. Stay safe and happy adventures. Bob, I hope and pray that your Mom is doing ok. And I hope and pray that the rest of the family is doing ok. Love Joyce

Used to be an otr produce trucker, I certainly miss the desert South West! I started staying in my 02'dakota with a topper on the back in South Bend, In. for the savings, upgraded the topper to a light, but badly abused truck camper, .$250.. LoL. Boondocking is a good life. Thankyou for the videos and sharing your working knowledge. The Hoosier will have to do for now, but as soon as my son finishes school, we will be out there! Thanks again!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Thanks for the great info Bob! I wonder if the Quechan realize the money they could make by having: a fuel station, showers, toilet, dump station, water station, RV washing station. All these at low price. Or the Mexicans south of the border. Money for them, comfort for RV dwellers. Great to know about the buffet!

[@hutkewahv981]

They don’t want those things. Don’t want to contend with extra work. They had one by the border and closed it. They do like the snow birds.

[@alexba1ley]

I wonder if the settlers realize land is more than a commodity.

I love this guy! So inspiring! Rethinking retirement ❤

im going through a divorce and once it's final im thinking of buying a used RV and living the land for a while. im so tired of working everyday just to pay rent and bills. knowing where your money is going every week sucks especially paycheck to paycheck

This looks like a good place for me, because I like to be close to facilities and shopping, but still somewhat out of the way of the crowds.

Great information Bob thank you so much I'll be seeing you out there this coming hope I can bump into you and say hello

I live in Texas and even close to the gulf there will be stormy days.

[@anniewisecarver744]

I totally get dispersed free camping and I love it but I also love to stay in state or national parks occasionally (shower, laundry etc.) and in all my years I've never had a host 'breathe down my neck' as you say. It's usually pretty chill really. But I get what you mean.

[@jessf1663]

Excellent video this is something that I can look forward to during my retirement years

[@grandsewb5452]

You were looking east to Yuma and the All American has cement sides so that water was THe Colorado river

[@mallwydmanlobbi]

I get so much good info from your videos. Thank you so much for making these, I really appreciate it!

[@mondavou9408]

Spring 2023. I just left the Q resort trying to buy an annual pass. I was told they don't do it anymore. $10 per night (no hook ups) in their dirt parking lot beside the Casino is all they would sell me.

[@prescotlove1009]

Great for us who are craving our freedom....thank you ❤

[@iguanapete3809]

I worked in Yuma for a year. I camped where you are every night. This was 30 years ago so it was totally free.

[@erikadowdy686]

When they say u can fry an egg on the cement or in a car, it's true.

Hi Bob this is Gina I haven't been on your channel for a while but I always check in I think you do an awesome job thank you for all your info you put a lot of hard work into your videos and I just want you to know you're appreciated

[@robynsears6764]

Very cool! And yes, I agree -- we do need the workers coming over from Mexico-- most from the US couldn't endure the heat and conditions doing the farming. And kudos to the Quechan Nation for their hospitality and sharing of their beautiful land.

[@LetsDanceTampa]

They'd do it if employers were willing to pay a decent wage but they get undercut by illegals. Shame on the employers.

[@Sarasdad91]

Bob's right. Florida has so much rain. I've been to Yuma AZ several times and yet to see any rain. I'm not saying Yuma Arizona doesn't have any rain oh, I'm just saying I haven't seen any. I love Yuma. Peaceful and clean air and wide open spaces. A totally stress free place. Quartzite AZ is another nice place. Big swap meet there is a great place to shop.

[@cyndifoore7743]

Bob, great video, I'll have to check the blog for info about about dumping tanks and temps throughout the winter at the reservation.

[@OziMarika]

Good day Bob. Nice to hear all the information-s you are giving to folks on camping and life on the road generally...I enjoy listening to you and also to see the views where ever you may be traveling on.Some folks have an unusual accent from the America, but i can understand you loud and clear. As ever, it's a pleasure to see your videos.Take good care. From a Dreamer of traveling on the road.

[@stingraygaming959]

Hi Bob, I really enjoy your videos. If you haven't already, can you make a video on how nomads receive refills on their prescription medication across the country?

[@cindychull]

I don't think you need prescription in Mexico no restrictions

[@bikerabbi]

@@cindychull Narcotic based medications need a prescription in Mexico. Most others, no.

What did you find for dump stations close to the camping area or the casino ?

[@kessg95]

I would love a list of areas you have gone and enjoyed disperse camping (or at least some I'm sure you have a ton)

[@glenlynch1]

Hello Bob!!! By the way Bob... At @ 7:40 your direction is a little off. We ALL mistakes!!! But Yuma is east of the Casino and the All American Canal... Not "pointing due west"
