Groceries etc available in Quartzsite, Blythe CA (20 miles away), Parker AZ (35 miles away), & Yuma AZ (abt 95 miles away).

Quartzsite is Sept 15 to April 15 for $180. Great information thanks for the ideas.

Hi David.. have you checked into the yearly state park pass of New Mexico? It's great for summer boondocking... tons of state parks.. two weeks at each... back and forth... or visit each one. They are all in a higher elevation... The lowest elevation for the state of New Mexico is 2800 feet. Some of the state parks are above 6000 feet and stay nice and cool for summer. You can Buy the yearly state park pass for $225 and stay at any one of the many state parks. If you want electric, it is only 4 bucks a night with the pass.

Very glad you guys made a new video you always have good quality,informative,fun to watch stay safe god bless 🙏 💗

Great to see you again! It’s been too long. I’m just waiting for my truck to come in so I can get my 5th wheel and hit the road full time. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I’ve lived in Vegas for 11 years now and planned to be here or AZ for winter time. It’s been mid 60’s the last couple days, which is sooo nice 👍!! Looking forward to living life like you guys. My birds 🐦 are coming with me too 😃. Two cockatiels and four parakeets. Going to call it my Tiel Hauler lol 😆.

Happy New Year! Happy to see you thriving in AZ. I do not miss those cold Indiana winters either. Florida is pretty awesome but probably more crowded than you prefer. I look forward to your adventures as you migrate North. Stay Safe fellow Hoosiers!

looks awesome there! Thanks for sharing! We're planning on fulltiming again and needed this info. Yall stay safe.

Nice to see you again. Hopefully you, your fur babies, and your family are all well.🤗😘

I am so glad that you keep doing videos

My husband and I wintered in Arizona last winter and are trying out the Southeast this winter. We miss Arizona so much and plan on going back next winter!

Great video and all the great places to spend the winter. Hopefully we can make it out west next winter. Thanks

Excellent information! We have been missing you! Glad you are doing well!

Awesome places to beat the cold! - Thanks!

Great video. I’m not into equipment reviews or how to’s so I’m gonna stick around for some more videos.

We missed you guys good to see a video from you

Thanks for the video. Great content for someone that will be a “Snow Bird” soon.

glad to see a fellow Hoosier! Current weather snow covered and cold AF. Really great video. Subscribed

Welcome back to AZ - from a Phoenician who's watching your work and looking to hit the road later this decade, but basecamp in the Southwest primarily.

Great snowbirding tips! Thanks!

We live in AZ and love it, although it is a little warm in the summer, LOL. Your other half did not look too happy.

Thanks for another great vid David! I'm definitely gonna try the Dyrt out, but I may wait until Christmas. . . .because. .. . i'm finally gonna do it! Retiring at the end of the year and hitching up and heading to AZ myself next January! Thanks for all the great content over the last 4 years, and keep it coming! : )

I never really understood "Snow-birding" until 4 years ago. We are now regulars. We don't live in a particularly cold climate (PNW) but it rains a fair amount. Spending part of feb & march in the sun & warm really lifts you up. We start heading North about mid March. It is strange going back home and adjusting. You feel like you left Summer for early Spring. Quartzsite not only long term but has a water & dump station. Agree with you on Sedona area. Like yourselves we came darn close to getting stuck the same time you did. Thankfully I have 4 wheel drive and did get out. Some didn't.

Really enjoying the videos !

Nailed it! Thanks!

good info and much appreciated

Stuck in freezing North Texas for another month. I will try not to do this again. Can't wait to leave for AZ. Thank you for another great video.

My friends were just at Senators Wash and they loved it. If you guys want to check out Slab City, I'll be heading back down in 5 weeks. It's a little warmer there, and I would be happy to show you around. Plenty of room for boondocking!

Thanks for the vid! We're trying to decide where to snowbird in the AZ area starting next week and can't make up our mind so thanks for the inspiration. Think we might just throw a dart at the AZ map and hit the nearest BLM coordinates on Campendium lol. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip on Quartzsite. It'd be great to find a campground that allows you to stay beyond the 14 days.

Just joined you both on Patreon. Thanks for the content.

Do you remember camping on BLM land near Tucson off 86/Ajo Way? We camped there back in 2018, I think, and maybe a handful of campers were there. We drove by recently on our way to a stay in an RV park nearby. Holy moly was it packed. Looked like a campground with all the rigs. Anyway thanks for the tips. Enjoy the warm weather.

Good info. Thank you.

Good video. Thank you.

I'm working towards snowbirding! Physically need to!!

Snowbirding down to arizona would be awesome.

Again another great/ Informative video. Curious what tires do u run ur truck. I'm sure you've gone through a couple sets since you've been traveling? Have a BLESSED day and stay safe .

Really enjoyed your intro to this video. We’re at LaPosa South right now. It is worth mentioning that you can also get a 14 day LTVA permit for $40 that includes the amenities of dumping, water and trash. We have had trouble finding places to stay in Phoenix especially boondocking. We just left there after staying several nights at regional county parks and an SKP Coop park. What quadrant/part of Phoenix are you suggesting?

nice great vlogs

I've liked Arizona since the first time I went there about 30 years ago... If you are in the Tucson area and are an aviation nut... pardon me... enthusiast, the 'Boneyard" at Davis Monthan AFB is worth a visit as is the Pima Air and Space Museum. And... the Titan II missile museum about an hour south in Green Valley is very interesting if you grew up during the Cold War. Plan ahead and book the 'Top To Bottom' tour.

Happy New Year! We love winter desert camping too. We are currently in Lajitas, TX right outside Big Bend, NP. Have u guys ever checked out this area? Very nice (and warm). May head north to Arizona depending on weather. Do you think we could get a 37' bus into some of the awesome off grid sites you find? I am concerned about the weight/traction (GVWR 38K). Take care!

Nice 👍 thanks

How about the date farms in Yuma? Beautiful.

I'm in Pahrump NV Its very cold at night sleeping in a Fifth wheel. Day time is usually very nice.

LTVA Imperial Dam, just about 25 miles outside Yuma, is the same kind of thing as Quartzsite - $180.00 for 7 months. Or $40.00 for two weeks - I think - if you want to stay on LTVA land. Of course, BLM is free all over but, cause the Yuma Proving Grounds- Army owned - is right there, because they have lots of land there's not as much BLM around there. We liked being close to the YPG because of all the booms - : ) - but, yeah - it does cut down on BLM. We went to both Quartzsite and Imperial Dam last winter and we REALLY liked Imperial Dam lots more. Rarely any line for water and dumping (which i don't think you guys do if I remember correctly), it's more interesting looking, with the reservoir, and it's not nearly as dusty and crowded in some areas as Quartzsite. And, congratulations to your wife on her job! I did recruiting for a few years, and it's a great job for remote work.

I'm hoping you will do more on your cooking channel when you have time

Hi, David. Thanks for your videos; I really enjoy them; and I just subscribed. I thought your truck camping video in freezing temperatures video was a nice piece of art. Now...I want to comment on a point that you made here. You said that one can find three campsites in the Phoenix area and alternate between them, thusly stay within the rules of dispersed camping. This is technically true. Firstly, you must understand that I am a crazy person who enjoys reading the rules and regulations concerning camping on public lands (almost exclusively federal), though to be fair to myself that is only a part of the research about public lands that I do. With that said and having looked at the rules of many different forests/lands...and having seem the rules concerning dispersed camping become more restrictive over time...I will tell you (and I have read specific statements about this from the NFS) that it is contrary to the intent of their rules for people to cycle between campsites in a relatively small area...such as the extended area around a major city. This intent is really not aimed at people like you and Rae, rather it is aimed at car campers who are law breakers and trash the area, but nonetheless these governmental entities tend to make sweeping generalizations, and so I do think it's important to understand that 'skirting' the letter of the law (rules in this case) very well could contribute to the rules becoming more and more restrictive in the future. Who the NFS, and other like agencies like the BLM, want to service is people seeing the country...and I understand that you and Rae are doing that:, I just want to put my two cents in here for clarity for everyone else. I think it's a much better practice to cycle in a larger area than just Phoenix. From a map it seems to me that half the land west of Texas is public. Using latitude mixed with elevation, the possibilities for chasing perfect weather are endless out west. No need to just hang around Phoenix. Plus Starlink is almost ready to go for roaming, so soon, cellular coverage will be a non-issue.

We locals pronounce Verde.....Vurdy not Verday. Also, Cottonwood/Camp Verde area doesnt normally get the cold like you have experienced the last couple years here. Right now highs are in the mid to high 60's here. Drove by your campsite east of Camp Verde last year, but didnt want to bother you that day. Another thing to note, back when you thought someone was parked at your camper and a couple years ago, and you thought they were going to steal of mess with your rig. What was actually happening was some local Hopi or Navajo Indians were simply waiting for you to return so they could bum money from you for booze. It has been that way for many years here. I used to work for the Tribe years ago and know what they do. They would not have harmed you or stolen from you. Just need money for drink is all. Im an old Hoosier that transplanted from West Central Indiana to here 37 years ago.

I have wintered in Arizona a few times, then started to winter in Florida. Love FLA so much more. Its warmer, and has something the desert don't have. Water. I fell in love with the beautiful beaches. I ride my e-bike up and down the coast line. Its too dusty out in the desert for me. Just sayin. Hey, there is plenty of BLM land in Florida as well. Gas prices are under 3 bucks a galon down there. People are really nice and conservative. Pretty much like us in Ohio.

God, we have missed you two.

When does the two weeks start? When you get caught and you say you just got there?

hi there from Canada! :) I just found your site! May I ask (b/c I'm new to this), what is BLM camping? Not sure what that stands for. TY! I can't wait to explore your channel! TY for what you do!

I'm surprised that Slab City wasn't on your list anywhere

*"... Being able to just skip Winter..."* Me: A snowboarder: no thank you!😤

We are interested in the Verizon business router you talked about in a previous video. My wife works remotely, how many sites that you mentioned have Verizon service? We live in Colorado and and want to winter in Arizona to expand our business. Thanks Matt and Tara

Giving actual locations would make your vids more valuable… $$$

we miss seeing Roe... wish she was still doing you RV videos

Free to dirt cheap Florida and Southeast location recommendations anybody?? :)

I don't see your wind turbine. What happened to it? I thought it was necessary.

How can you talk about Yuma and not mention Imperial Dam LTVA?

Yuma ( Imperial Dam campground LTVA) and is pretty huge, near the lake and a lot of activities !

Sucks roe bailed on all of us here ..

Been thru places on your videos. You might find my perspectives interesting. I made short travel videos on KZfaq. Search with with my name and sores like Arizona, Tucson, Yuma, Phoenix. I try to find stories about the places.

You seem too young to snowbird? Are you retired?

Your advise is about as good as Salomon August Andrée

Why the tent?

Where is the wife? A “by” at the end, really?

It's just not the same without Jenny or Roe. You should at least tell us why she's no longer in or even doing the vlogs.

What do you use the green tent for that i saw behind you while filming?

Hey my fellow RV'rs ...... Looking for s RV Lifer to help manage and grow an Nice RV Park in ENID OKLAHOMA... Must be LEGITE , Friendly , and BUSINESS ORIENTED....... It really is a quiet and peaceful Park that had previously had very Bad Management...

I'm hoping you will do more on your cooking channel when you have time
