Yes I am, just let me know where you all will be. Lori and I are looking forward to meeting everyone.

We got here in Oct. It seemed like a lot of the people who come every year were coming back early due to the weather. The venders seem to be down tho. I work at Silly's and got called back in Oct. instead of Nov.

Can anyone recommend a good water source in Quartzsite?? Appears there are several options... commercial and LTVA..... would love some input before loading 100 gallons.....

I filled up twice last January at RV Pitstop: Propane, Dumping, and RV Spaces in Quartzsite, Arizona.

Thanks Wayne... guess the water was good since you went back a second time!!
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, they charged me $3 for the water and $7 to dump.

That was last year. Wait until you see what the "city" of Quartzsite has done through higher taxes this year. I'm not going to tell you. I am waiting to see what happens when everybody learns the hard way. Fewer vendors every year due to taxes & regulation, now outrageous fees for dumping. This is getting ugly.

So don't keep us in suspense; inquiring minds want to know!

Realize that I don't go to Q unless I have to for shopping, so this is second hand and could be wrong. A few weeks ago I was told $15 at the Pit Stop for dump & water this year. Then last week somebody who was in shock told me that they had raised it to $20 . The Pit Stop told him it is out of their hands and blamed the City. Some people have to dump once a week ($80 a month!) I don't know what their intention is, but I know what the results will be.
Like I said, this is going to get ugly.
