How Many Boondockers at the (Quartzsite LTVAs)

[@Meandmy2Vs]

I love your channel. It is my favorite for RV life. I am soon to retire. This is my dream. Thank you for the beautiful scenic and informative videos! Safe travels friend😊

[@billmoore7133]

So much to do out there, you can look for rocks, stack rocks, polish rocks, climb rocks, throw rocks.

[@evanbrowne1439]

sit on rocks

[@anniefrances-w9k]

Or become a rock.....star!

[@monabonejakon2797]

kick rocks

[@alcaholic9559]

Ya got rock stew rock kabob's rock scampi rock gumbo ? Mmmm rocks and sand : )

[@anniefrances-w9k]

Rock On! Rocks: Great conversation piece.

[@amiralions2681]

Whoever came up with the idea for the LTV was a genius! They solved vacation, weather and cash flow challenges for thousands over the years and fixed the budgets for each city/county/state participating.

[@Bryan-yq9pz]

What's an LTV?

[@gregmoessner3104]

Long term visitors

[@mikemccallister2053]

Great add, I am voting for Garvey !

[@travelguy1564]

Makes me really appreciate my home state of Arkansas! You just talked me out of ever going there. I guess it's good for those snow birds up north with freezing winter temps. I'll just go down to the Florida beaches for a week or two, then come home! Thanks

[@thomastl9581]

Well, you're lucky you have your parents' home to go back to.

[@prettypalomino8528]

Arkansas is a beautiful state with so much to offer. I'm a northern neighbor from the Missouri Ozarks.

[@lloydbaker6988]

Hey, Hey, It's RVerTV Russ taking us to the LTVA's. TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL 👍

[@jonnyem.8859]

Was hoping someone would do what you did. A non-hurried overview of what is going on in the LTVA's. Never heard of Quartzite until last week. Now I know what it is and what it looks like. You do quality work with a nice narrative. Thanks for your tour of this interesting area. It is not for everyone, but it is obviously for many.

[@65248940]

Hey Russ! Thanks for the desert tour. That has to be a blast, riding those trails. Lots of RV units as far as you can see. Great views with your drone camera. We really appreciate your videos. Stay safe and enjoy!

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

I cannot see the attraction of camping in a barren, desert environment with dirt, gravel, scrub brush (and very little of that) along with hundreds of other campers as well as rattlesnakes and scorpions. My father enjoyed his retirement in Arizona and rv’ing in the Four Corners Region, but I never shared his fascination with the South West U.S. although I admit I like Prescott and Flagstaff, Arizona.

[@motorheart9045]

Chipmunks, hummingbirds, crazy aircraft from nearby base, rare rattlesnake sightings, great neighbors, gorgeous weather, outside everyday, spring wildflowers all colors, desert rain seeps out of ground for days, arroyos, pretty rocks and lots of happy dogs. Fantastic pizza. Excellent butcher and fresh produce.

[@moonshinefuel]

I like it, long term visitor area on a budget. I'm sure it has it's challenges but the price is right!

[@goldrace10]

What an interesting ride ! Thanks Russ !

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nosnerd1967]

Living vicariously through you from Ottawa Ontario Canada keep up the great work

[@Carolina-gz8ug]

Why don't you visit, I meet countless Canadians that come from almost every province, I see many from Alberta, Ontario and Montreal, they have very big RV's

[@gregmoessner3104]

Our government is forcing us to live like that in LTV’s

[@bossman6174]

@@gregmoessner3104 Nonsense.

[@AmericanConstellation]

Wow. It looks like a great place for a vacation. I'll take my boat and the gulf of Mexico all the time.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Wish I was there enjoying the great weather! Need that fancy rv yet!

[@thesomewhathandyman9400]

December and January are the months I binge theses desert camping videos. The SAD gets a hold of me big time up here in the PNW. Next year I hope to finally make the snowbird trip I've been planning over the last 5 years. Just been stuck rebuilding my old mobile home over finishing up my camper build. Gotta get her done this summer!

[@steviejd5803]

I hope you make it. I also get SAD Syndrome, I use lights but nothing like a little dose of AZ 🇺🇸🌵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@krisg3984]

I tricked my eyes into Seeing sunshine on grey days , by using yellow tinted glasses. It truly helped my mood . Try it ! 💕

[@airstreamer]

This was great to be able to see these sites both driving through and from above! We are considering going to this next year, so this helps immensely to know what to expect. New subscriber! Jim & Michelle /Airstreamer

[@imagseer]

Thanks for taking us around the desert Russ. Now I can see where those washes get their water from when it rains... such a huge area and all running into each other!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Always enjoy seeing whats happening in and around Q. Filling up for sure. Great drone footage. 🙂👍

[@CDubsJourney]

Enjoyed the ride way out yonder! Thanks for taking us along ✌️💛😊

[@deetrvl4life875]

Love love to you Russ, thanks for the beautiful drive! I'd love to see Drone views of some of the 'serious' rains and the washes flooded. How often does that happen? 🐫🌊♥

[@lindamartin2045]

Very nice ride.... thank you 😊.would be nice to sit out there in the sun. Even with my allergies. Little tired of shoveling snow. 😎

[@patrickprendergast9589]

i was in 0 jan 15 in chicago never again

[@beckyjohnstone1610]

Thank you for providing such great information on Quartzsite!

[@nancycain4434]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the great drone shots. Beautiful Mountains scenery.

[@Bombom0120]

Thanks for the touring ! I’m just dreaming.

[@LilRuby1961Bonanza]

It was great seeing you again at the game store. I have been out camping at Roadrunner, with my Sisters on the Fly group. My allergies are nuts this year. Got real bad yesterday! ~Janine from Colorado

[@juliebradford2999]

CRAZY COLD WEATHER HERE HOUSTON, TEXAS..MISS ARIZONA!!

[@openyoureyes3969]

I was hoping you'd drive through the North😊These are great videos for us to show our families back home.

[@nancyhannan1977]

Been there last year it was way cool..people being free

[@lindsaylivinlife6282]

Thank you for the update! I'll be heading to Quartzsite so appreciating these tours and updates! ...looking forward to exploring the area and taking in some of the activities. ☀🌵😎

[@keithfaulk1354]

What is the attraction out there in the desert??

[@windrider23]

Nice that it's finally warming up. Will be there next Tuesday after the big storm on Monday. Hope the 1/2" of rain doesn't washout any campers.

[@PrairieNightMoon]

Wow, they have so much room out there, as compared to wadded up homes in town! No wonder so many people go there.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

The weather has been decent so far here in the Owens Valley California I'll probably take this year off unless something drastic changes. Enjoy and Safe Travels.

[@wildernesshermit]

Absolutely wonderful tour Russ, many thanks.

[@1falconron]

what about fresh water and black and gray dumping services?

[@stevekunz6573]

Watched them put one towers together, two guys on the rack , one working a giant boom, had the darn thing together in a couple of hours.

[@dan8753]

Awesome Videos Russ! Thank you for dating the videos and the wonderful drone footage.

[@CatHound]

Very well put together video. I enjoyed your journey. Happy Trails from NC

[@didibolter9362]

I liked seeing that tall Cactus just before timestamp 13:20, that was really cool.

[@AgentRains]

Enjoying your updates

[@FlipMacz]

Can someone tell me why anyone would travel all that way to quartzsite, only to live like sardines?

[@Jimmydog777]

Exactly better off just going to Tuscon area or Apache Junction

[@xstanadu]

Another GREAT ride along ! Thank you Russ … always enjoy your videos …. You know where everything is !! Looks awesome out there !! Thanks Again for the DUSTY NUGGET ride 🛺👍🏼🤠

[@Nfarer]

Send some of that sun up here to the Pacific Northwest

[@russellhadaller3916]

Great video! It’s almost like I was there!!!

THANKS!

[@rvertv]

You're welcome!

[@jeffboquist3904]

Lots room guys. Thanks

[@philipwilliams7947]

Thanks!! So many videos on quartzite but none show actually what it looks like on the lay out. I plan on going down in November. But I hear New Mexico’s year long fee is going to more than double. I may stop in New Mexico first and by an annual pass before it changes. Year long for like 225 I think it is.

[@nomadicweatherbear]

Not too bad for mid January. ❤

[@GramsMusick158]

I was there Tuesday. I had never seen so many rvers and nomads in one place! It was quite a spectacle

[@PamRaney]

How do you find your way back to your campsite after you have been to the show?

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Thanks again Russ for guided tour ,I'm loss

[@susananderson618]

Many of those workers installing the electric lines are RVers. They work long days 6 days a week. They travel all over the USA. We had many stay with us last summer in the RV park in Utah where we were workamping. High paying job but stressful.

[@richardjackson6922]

Than you Russ! Always love your content! Than you for taking us on a tour of the whole area.

[@440-6Pack]

Hey Russ. Thanks for the updates. I must add the $180 for the season in the LTVA’s is actually for 7 months.

[@randygyulay5114]

You are having too much fun keeping us entertained. Thanks.

Wow, the Dusty nugget really earns its name on this trip🙂

[@didibolter9362]

That's AWESOME to have power throughout the Desert. 👏👏👏

[@Sidebranches]

Mom went out there after she retired and found a 1/2 oz gold nugget laying on top of the ground.

[@corrieevilsizer2763]

Yes there are nuggets all around quartzite. Just have to look.

[@lindamarr6628]

Added to bucket list! 😊

[@greghettig1504]

Hi Russ, we watch your videos most nites. Love them. Like Yuma, is it a good place to live. Thanks Russ

[@kevinp2820]

Hi All! We’re in Parker at Emerald Cove will be heading to the Q Saturday for the big tent! See ya there!

[@joecerda630]

Living in Phoenix I've been wanting to check it out along with Kofa...thanks for sharing

[@stevenarndt8072]

It looked like there were restrooms on the left when you pulled into LaPosa South, was that correct.

[@debvoz]

Yes there's a rest room at the entrance and then every 1/4 mile for the first mile and a half or so

[@ParttimePilgrim]

La Posa Southpole i call it!🤣 Freezing cold out there

[@bryanmcculloch9524]

It was nice to meet you today. Thanks again for all your helpful videos on the Q.

[@metaglypto]

You almost had me convinced to NEVER go to Quartzsite, then you showed that you can actually get off to yourself. Maybe I will visit some day.

[@prf54]

Russ at rver tv, thanks for helping out Wondering Jeepsy with the medicine and stuff. I gave her my receipe on boiling a chicken in water for a while and debone it and put in some onions and carrots and a few halapeena peppers. Fatty chickens are good for this too and about three or four cut up hallipeeno peppers. Thanks for showing me around the desert there and the newer modifications taking place. I am trying to get wondering jeepsy to make up build up a smaller tear drop or a do it yourselfer over land trailer. She wont do it, just something for her to make up and then possibly sell latter on down the road. I have been enjoying one traveling all around too. Thanks again for helping out wondering jeepsy.

[@janefromtennessee]

Sounds good, the recipe

Thanks Russ for the video

[@randiD123]

Nice! Awesome ride today

[@blairM363]

Love your videos, if you happen across it, can you find a few of the truck camper groupings. I am curious how many people have truck campers out there. Thanks.

[@Enjoyrving]

Would Arizona Sun Rv Park have dust issues like you showed in the ltva areas? Desert dust and beach camping aren’t my thing. Nice video and tour.

[@Jimmydog777]

I agree sand sucks

[@shibui99]

Wish I was there! ! ! !

Bravo.......ok it does not beat burning man......but soon.....cheers

[@rvvanlife]

You said that tent campers are required to stay near the toilets. Don't they also require that for the van campers as well?

[@NoName-zq6ic]

Yep, if not self-contained(holding tanks) your supposed to stay within a certain distance of a vault toilet but, as anyone can see, not all do.

[@DarsAdventures]

how do you keep your site if you have to leave for a few hours

[@timclosson7166]

Thanks Russ, we'll be there tomorrow!

People wanting to feel free 😊 I have been camping in my Kodiak 4 season camper almost 4 years now . Not at the desert. But a very economical spot !!

[@kartikeyawalks6066]

Beautiful drone shots and amazing mountain scenery....very nice video👍👍👍

[@johnlenart597]

Being from NE Ohio my camping always had a motorcycle, tent, trees, and grass. I've toured the SW years ago and can't believe how much it's changed. I can understand the draw. Especially when I'm looking at snow and 15°. The early settlers and native Americans would really be surprised. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

[@rondyechannel1399]

We will be there Wednesday Russ. The area we were camping in near Yuma flooded out!

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool 😎

[@Go4Corvette]

Thanks for the tour, Russ. Where does Bob Wells camp🤔bet he stays away from the crowds. Take care.

[@mastrblastrr]

This is awesome! I bout to sell my home in Okc. Really looking for a lifestyle change. Thank u for the video.. 😎

[@francis-s3u]

nothing like Chicago and suburbs region. and the weather is a lot warmer

[@BettyH-p8u]

Most “SNOW BIRDS “ will head north in march or wherever! For the summer ! That’s the great thing about coyote camping you can get off from other campers if you choose !yea it’s cool when my husband was alive we use to winter out in the desert at Quartzite ! Loved ❤ it !

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

With solar you can do so much , tried to teach but Having issues with getting my book out there , like big time issues

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

With a backup generator you can do even more to the point the electric company Will Cause Issues Bet On It My new window heat pump uses just 1280 watts They don't fear solar they fear the lessened need for their electricity Other words they want all your $$$

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

That's 1280 watts of 120volt ac tbc on the window Lg ac/heat pump yes does both heating as well as air conditioning

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Shocked ... post hasn't disappeared yet

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Hey impressed post lasted for a few hours No likes but at least it's here . The censorship to block solar is blunt in my face living in north central Florida Unreal times

[@BobtheTraveler-WD8NVN]

Hey Russ, do a video about the Ham Radio operators meeting at the Road Runner BLM. QUARTZFEST" starting January 21 thru January 28 th. 😃😃😃😃😃
