I like the earlier suggestion to vary your locations for your time in Arizona. We live 25 miles north of Tucson and travel throughout the state in our 24' Class C. Yuma is a hole on a good day and they don't get many, nothing to see or do there but it is warmer than where most folks there come from.
For southern Arizona Tucson and or Benson are good locations to enjoy the weather and take maximum advantage of all of the amazing places to explore. I would do at least half of my time in those areas before moving on to Parker, Havesu or Flagstaff to enjoy the northern half of the state. Southern Utah and New Mexico also offer many opportunities to explore and enjoy.
In the winter months just watch your elevation as Arizona can get get very cold, which, I assume is what you came here to avoid. Arizona is an awesome location for RV'ing and you can enjoy it year round. Throw in all of the history and natural wonders that abound and it is hard to imagine not being here .
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
:B
Agree....except for mentioning Flagstaff during winter. It's much too cold.
Look at a map and stay from Phoenix and below. On the west don't get further north than Lake Havasu.
We would recommend the Tucson area. The Voyager RV Park is a full-scale 'resort' with any activity you may want. There are many golf courses, including city ones, in Tucson. You would be close to Benson and San Pedro Golf has very reasonable rates. There are also many courses south at Green Valley.
Tucson isn't a big sprawl like the greater Phoenix area but has a good mix of everything and lots of interesting things to do. Do a day trip to the Benson area for Tombstone, Bisbee and Kartchner Caverns - a top tour is the Rotunda Room. (volunteered there). South of Tucson is Patagonia Lake State Park for a nice day trip in a beautiful area. Take highway 83 through Sonoita and the vineyards for a beautiful drive.
