Headed that way as well with first stop being Palm Springs. The Casino is a great place to stay until you find a spot in a RV park etc. if hookups are needed. If you have never been to Quartzite I say it is a must during the week of the RV show which starts on Jan. 16th this year. (Doubt you will find a place with hookups so it will be dry camping really cheap or free) Forget about Scottsdale area after that since EVERYTHING is booked already. Trust me I tried a few months back to get reservations. Barrett Jackson Auction is also there at the same time. We tend to head to Yuma for a week or so after Q and never run out of things to see and do...or just do nothing is always good. A day trip over to Mexico is always fun and we find it very safe. We have headed to Tucson and stayed at Lazy Days which is really nice. Last year went to Sedona which was awesome. The helicopter ride is a must as well. Lots of great places in AZ not to mention getting out of this Valley cold :)
