We will be at NKK Quartzsite Gathering in Jan. to start off the new year. The Big Tent event is one of the largest vendor area you will ever see. Going back to the early 2000's there were as many as 700 Newmar's in attendance with Newmar even sending factory tech for warranty and service work. For the last 4 or 5 years the attendance has increased by about 15 to 20 more coaches each year for a total of last year around 130. Drying camping, but it is the largest collection of RVer's in the world with around 10K within a 10 mile radius of Quartzsite. It really should be on many Newmar owner's buck list.

Being a new member to the Newmar Kountry Klub I would like to meet some of you folks and check things out. In the past I have always joined up with the Monaco and Beaver groups prior to my new purchase. Personally I think Quartzite is a blast. Not far from where I winter in Surprise so you can expect to see me. Looking forward to meeting Neal C. so go west young man.
It will be a great opportunity for Neal C. to show everyone how to he uses his grill.

We are hoping to make it this year. Will know better later on. Still working through going to the international rally. We want to do the east coast this winter then meander to the west coast by the end of January.

Not going, I’ll be in Florida this year. Have gone many times in the past and it’s getting too crowded. Last time I went I bought a water pressure monitor and a color monitor for my TST tire monitors. I was staying in Yuma and went up for a week. The next weekend I went to the Yuma swap meet and it had an RV section. Found both items selling for less than what I paid at the Q. No bargains at the Q anymore. The venders have to pay high fees for a site, and higher fuel prices to get there so they aren’t discounting their prices much anymore.

We've been going to Quartzsite since 2005. We always go for about five days, beginning with Saturday, the second day of the RV show. We went last year and looked for the Newmar group, but most of them had left by midweek. We'll be there in 2020, but we stay in a campground in town.

For many, the reason to go to Quartzsite is not for bargains.
It's for hooking up with folks of like-mind.... RV manufacturers groups, 4-wheeling groups, ATVing, amature radio, geocaching, friends, family, etc.
Sure, you may find some things to buy and it's fun to look but I think it's known that you can find things cheaper elswhere.
