I'm with you Steve! I dry camped with Uncle Sam for a spell and never
learned to like it!

Having said that during our one year trip in '77 with the 2 youngest, we
dry camped 4 days a week-that is
how long it took to fill the holding tank-then we scooted into a CG for 3
nights to dump/refill water/do laundry/take long lasting hot showers, etc
& etc.
Being on a budget of $1,000 per month forced us to dry camp and later
when I didn't have to-I didn't.

Dave, I did my time with Uncle Sam too and with my dad. Every time he needed a rain on the crops he loaded us all up and we went tent camping. Rained every stinking time. I hate camping. That is why I own a GMC. I do not like roughing it. We have the GMC setup so we do not rough it when we dry camp. I have everything dry camping that I have hooked up, except air conditioning. If we need air we move to a cooler spot. It took me a couple of years but I have the coach set up now so we can dry camp in style. It is not for everyone and it did not come cheap. But, I got it now so we use it when we can with no hookups. I can not afford to camp in RV parks much so we don't, except during conventions and rallies.
There are hookups available in Quartzsite. It might be tough to find a spot with hookups next week but I bet if one looks hard there will be some.

Several of us left before our space fees ran out last year and we
offered our spaces free to those GMCers who were dry camping. I don't
know if anyone took us up on it but it is something to consider. I
don't know if I can handle 8 days in that place, too much fun and all
that...

Steve, I remember you and Nancy telling Teri and me to use your spot. I really appreciated it but was having too much fun harrassing Bert Curtis.
