On the way back to AZ from Montana last fall we stopped at Albuquerque at LaMesa RV and bought a new to us 2018 Flweetwood Bounder 35P

Trying to get our old 05 Monaco Cayman 36 PDQ sold but that's on hold as we wanted to get on over to revisit the huge Quartzsite AZ events.

Jan 11, 2025

We are in Quartzsite in the LTVA West just south of the big show tent. There are about 500K to 1 million people camped out here.  Got here fine except now having trouble with our Samsung RF18 fridge not cooling properly.  Always something. Freezer at 10° (S/B -4°) fridge is running about 34° which is OK . Can push the Power freeze and Power cool buttons to spike the cooling which kicks in for two hours. Is meant to fast cool warm food when placed in the fridge. Trying to limp by till we get back to Benson and get it fixed or replaced. Loews has a new model replacement for $1200 that will fit. Still waiting to replace the forced air gas furnace which was determined not repairable as it was rusted from water leak. Found out that was normal for that model unit by the mobile repair guy we hired. Got a portable propane Buddy Heater for now. Do have a table top ice maker so that is  a must have and cam move in our portable 12V cooler from the truck to use inside the MH. This is differently a shake down cruse. Bottom line I do have a Americas RV Warranty policy (paid $8K for 5 years) that has full coverage with only $100 deductible so all this should be covered.

Terry is loving it getting back into the Gem and Mineral Club activities here. Just driving around as this place is packed with RVs and campers, much more so than what we had ever seen  before. Lots of Nomads as in partially homeless living out of vans, cars, tents, school buses, etc. It's something else to witness to be sure.
