I guess that's a problem with the Yuma area, it rarely gets below freezing to kill off the mosquitos. Plus that huge agricultural area between Imperial and Yuma undergoes constant irrigation. FWIW, I don't remember any mosquitos around Quartzsite, nor in Ehrenberg up on the mesa. There may be...
It's unclear exactly what you're looking for, but a Chevy Express or GMC Savana (which I have) will likely be easier to find used than many of the other types. In my case, I live several hundred miles from a large city, and it took me 3 months of looking to find a Savana locally. So, there are 2...
Some update maps. Shows some states along the southern border are doing better than they were a month or so ago, but the upper midwest is now the bad zone.

Good thinking. In good weather, for a van dweller living mostly outside or in a tent is fine, but several days of bad weather take their toll, if the inside of the van is too cramped and cluttered.
I have a regular GMC Savana and over the course of 3 years, I have worked at producing ever more...
Sorry to say, more like I was being lazy. I was just endeavoring to point out you can buy the powder alone, and posted the "first" link I found. I'm sure you can get a SUPER-DUPER-MAGNUM sized can of poo powder if you really need one, :angel:
Looking at my Benchmark Maps of California, I don't see many access points going from the highways in towards the Chocolate Mtns. 4WD only? It also indicates they are "Gunnery Range (Live Bombing - Keep Out)". Now I do remember a number of other boondocking spots right off the east side of...
I greatly preferred boondocking at American Girl Mine over anything I found around the Imperial Dam area. It's also an easy drive into Yuma. For you window washer fly lover guys, no flies that I remember, either.
Yeah, there is an area approx 10 miles by 15 miles south between Imperial and Yuma that is heavily agricultural. The roads were bad, covered with mud sloughed off tractor tires, and whatever else. Crop duster effusion?
There is a road S24 that goes up the northwest side of that zone, and there...
I never did much trailering, so it never got to be a learned reflex, and I could never remember the rules. So I would just talk to myself, "you want to go right, so turn the wheel left". Easy peasy.
Well popeye, since all the shirely sue YARCers went to the other forum, I might start a new group mainly for inverterate, unrepenting clowns. YSAC Camp.
JAM, that's good, now we know. As I implied a couple of times, Imperial should be ok if you're self-contained, so then you can camp 1/2 mile or more away from the RV mobs situated directly around the toilets. The mobs thinned out exponentially away from the toilets. The dirt road goes back for...
.... .. ... ..., anyone who wants to leave the east and head to the glorious west is OK in my book. Similar for the PNW. I just finished my own popcorn, small evening meal today. I am currently watching the world news on PBS, but plan to turn the TV off in exactly 10 more minutes, and hear...
Yeah, a lot depends on whether OP has a self-contained rig, as I did indicate. Who knows??? For that matter, the other 2 LTVAs near Yuma, Pilot Knob and Holtville, also require self-containment. OTOH, the big boondocking area around American Girl Mine is not an LTVA, so anyone can stay there.
I wrote that in response to all the issues you were having with the forum. Accounts and posts disappearing, and logons being tampered with by unknown cyberspace daemons. I was sending a message to indicate we are watching them, in case you disappear forever. So, try to keep yer atoms together.
JAM, I was extremely disappointed with the Imperial Dam LTVA when I stopped there. Everyone was so mobbed around the 2 toilets near the entrance station, I didn't even have room to park my van where it wasn't within a few feet of someone else. Poo. I didn't even stay. If you have a...
