Wow, thanks for all the good responses -- lots of useful info there! I'll try to add a few comments/clarifications:
- Good tip about Kingman -- we've driven through and/or by there a few times, but haven't really checked it out. Will have to do that.
- We're not really interested in Yuma -- too far south and close to the border for us.
- We live in Delaware, and love it here, but our favorite places to travel are in the West. We'd like to be able to spend several months in the Southwest in the winter, as well as explore the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, etc. in the summers. Having made multiple trips west in the last few years, we're thinking in terms of establishing a "base of operations" from which we can explore, and where we can put our feet up between trips in the area. Some place like Salt Lake City would be more central, but too cold in the winter, so we've looked at places like St. George, Las Vegas, etc. We've found homes with RV garages in various places, but none that we like (or can afford) as well as the BHC area. The one development we actually have our eye on is Valley View at Sunrise Hills, in Fort Mohave. Each home there has an RV garage plus an RV pad alongside, so friends can join you.
- Interesting point about doctors. We try to keep our routine appointments at home in Delaware, but need to consider unplanned medical needs as well. I did see a newish hospital, Valley View Medical Center, in Fort Mohave.
- We stayed at Vista del Sol the first week of March. Know what you mean about the wind up on that bluff! Saw their "houses" too ... double-wides rolled into place and plastered over with stucco. Not for us.
Thanks again to all. Nutinelse2do, I'll PM you.
