Quartzsite - 2018

So, we returned to "Q" on Monday, after a stop at Bob's Diesel for some service. Bob's is a favorite place of the Diesel world. We left Yuma, loaded down with party and food items for the Alfa Roadrunner chapter rally. 

We currently stand at 42 Rv's coming in for the week events. Signs showing direction, letters sent out indicating where we are located. Firewood coming in and so far 3 generators worked on AND FIXED. Yes, you too can get your generator fixed while here.

Our drive up here was uneventful, which is the type we like, so, Susan kept watched as I drove the many 80 miles. Once here, located a spot, unloaded and setup out many items. Photos to follow:




Leigh has a new Chocolate lab. Just because she is a dark chocolate and goes by the name Dakota, does not mean Dakota has opted for Leigh, she just found another home for a while: It is an Alfa you know.

While we were in Yuma, Susan order a new Roof Top Air Conditioner, yep, we are replacing our current old until (works) with a new Air Command A/C Heat pump from Australia.

I manage to locate a home brew video:

I also located a comparison brochure of the Air Command Vs. Brisk Air unit;

We opted for the 15k BTU - which equals to a 18K BTU. With only 13.5 amp draw. The claim is you can run this unit off of a 2000 watt generator. Note, everything in the coach must be on Propane, and the batteries fully charged. 

Susan ordered our unit from PPL. She opted for the 2 separate items, Non-ducted ceiling and the main unit itself. This along with the shipping provided the lowest cost. The ceiling unit came in within a few days,, however the roof top unit arrived in Phoenix, then went to the beach in San Diego bypassing Yuma. Well you know everyone likes to head to the beach for vacation. 

If all goes well, it should arrive in Yuma address between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm. All depends on the tan it received and whether or not it needs additional tanning location or if it received a sunburn.
