Suni Sands RV Resort, Yuma, AZ: Apr 2-4
This is a Passport America (half price) park with absolutely nothing going for it. We chose it over other Passport parks in Yuma since it was a little cheaper and a lot closer to the Bridge Club. Gas prices rising so quickly have caused us to factor in distances as part of the cost of camping. Suni Sands is directly across the street from the Yuma airport and the Marine Naval Air Station, and the engine noise is VERY LOUD ALL THE TIME. And we thought the spaces at El Centro were tight! Our rig is 104" wide with two 40" slide-outs, so we're over 15' wide when we're set up. This was obviously an old park and the spaces were only 18' wide. Fortunately they were long enough that we could hang back a little; otherwise, there would not have been room for us between our utility box and our neighbor. Electricity was also an issue, since the utility box looked original and was literally held together with duct tape. There was a new box two spaces down that the manager allowed us to run an extension cord to. But in the meantime, the combination of low electric & all the plugging & unplugging caused our DVD/VCR player to fry out. All this to save a few bucks. The cost of the new DVD/VCR player was more than the "savings" we'll see all year!!# posted by Doug and Willie @ 12:13 AM
