Good Morning everyone, well, my plans to winter in Sdak have been haulted by my sisters brain cancer taking a turn for the worse. Looks like I will be living for at least a year, in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Our entire family supports it, so now its just a matter of moving there and getting me and the bus set there, so we are both ( me and the bus) content. IE i dont know the first thing about how to protect the bus from the extreme heat. It has a swamp cooler in it and 2 air conditioners, thank goodness, but I have to:::
1] drive from WA to AZ thru the Mohave desert, and so I need advice on really hot weather and things i need to do before going and also while driving.
(I lived in a 5th wheel in my early 20's in Nevada, outside Vegas, so i DO have expierence with heat, but I need bus advice for my 1975 flxible.)
I dont have to worry about winterizing for about 2 yrs ( thats when I will be headed to Sdak) but I will be parked at my sisters home ( she just so happens to have an RV hook up on her property from one of her husbands old projects) so that is really good.
2] Get set up there so I protect whatever needs to be on the bus.
Anything anyone can tell me about what is BEST to park on and how to keep the bus the coolest, and safety stuff to do before and during the long haul trip.
Looks like ill be taking I5 to Sacramento and then 99 from there to avoid LA traffic...any ideas on routing to Havasu, or does that seem best?
This post is again to say thank you for all that responded so quickly to the winterizing questions, THANK YOU, and the info is in my DABUS file and WILL be used, but NOW i need HOT WEATHER help....as i will be moved there before the end of AUgust/first part of sept.( i am very flxible with change, kinda found the bus make i bought fitting)
more to come, please advise any way you can. THANX ;o) |

Havasu is nice, you get to see London bridge....much better choice for winter,you drove 6 hours first trip,said nothing about overheating,buy few gallons of distilled water ,say,5....just in case you have to add water,be sure it's full before you leave,park tires on placemats ,25 cents ea. at garage sales..hope you have a heavy cord between the bus & the plug-in....no little sissy extention cord...good luck |
