Just wanted to let folks know that there is a growing group of Fiberglass Trailer owners that are planning on getting together in Quartzsite in early February. Right now it is just a camping get together without any specific schedule. I believe that the date coincides with a hot rod show. I will let you know as we learn more about the specifics. If anyone knows the area well and has some advice, it would be great. Otherwise, it will just be a great time to meet and visit new and old friends! Doug
Use this link, then click on the Map of BLM Sites and that will give you an idea of what's available. The smaller green areas have always been my preference. Dome Rock has large open areas with plenty of room for groups. We prefer camping away from the events because the traffic in the flea market area gets pretty bad, especially if you go during the RV show.

Hiya Doug,
We saw the posting on desert eggs too, but are wondering if any there are any specific dates set yet?

We will pick out a final destination for a camp site and post our findings. The dates planned are Feb 1st thru the 3rd, 2008. Thank you and everyone else for the interest in this gathering, it should be fun. See you there
Doug, is there ANOTHER hot rod show in Quartzsite AFTER the one usually held in mid January???

We will be there ! Just bought a 99 Casita, so would love to see others and learn all sorts of new things from you EXPERIENCED folks.
To those on the Casita Club forum. Can anyone explain why I can't post on that forum. I did all the stuff including sending in answers to the 3 questions. Have sent many e-mails to the administrator and can't get a reply. I also notice that when I look at the member list, there are many who also have "validating" as thier status even if they tried to join many months ago. What's Up....THANKS and see you in Quartsite !!!!!!!!!!!!
