Every January something happens that is hard to believe unless you have seen it. According to the Arizona Highway Department some 750,000 to 1,000,000 people, mostly in RVs, converge on this sleepy desert town located just 20 miles east of the California boarder on Interstate 10 for the Rock Gems and Mineral Shows, plus numerous Flea Markets and the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RV Show. This phenomenon started some 35 years ago and is billed as "The worlds Largest Gathering of RVs in the World"
Arrival is fast and easy. Just extend your slides, lower your airbags and level your coach. It's that simple and you are ready to go. Don't forget your chairs and tables.
As you can see, the Monaco IRV2 gang is parked in a circle with enough room for a nightly bonfire where everyone congregates to discuss happenings of each day. We met many new great friends and had a wonderful time visiting the vendor tents as well as seeing all the 2011 RVs. We will definitely be back!
Here Dave is restitching a topper awning with help from "The Crew", Mike and Rick. After some awesome training by Kathy and Dave, the crew removed, repaired and installed at total of 13 topper awnings while at the site.
These guys were the real money makers. Shortly after this photo, this guy drove over to our coach to repair a six inch vertical crack on our coach. Kathy, as normal, took care of our paperwork.
One of the best things about being here was a chance to visit all the other coaches and see all the great practical additions owners have made to their coaches. Here's a sample of Drifter (Mike's) addition of a storage unit on the inside of his cafe doors. Great Idea! I need some of these on our coach. Everyone was impressed at Kathy's use of 3M hooks on our coach.
