Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

We just spent some time in Arizona including Holbrook, Flagstaff, Williams, Sedona and Phoenix.  I 40 was no problem, although rough in places west of Williams toward California (big heaves in the pavement - worse in CA!).  We didn't take the rig to Phoenix and Sedona, just left our 5th wheel parked in Flagstaff and took the truck.  I-17 has some pretty steep grades and high traffic volumes, depending on time of travel.  Southbound and northbound we saw a few Rv's and trucks pulled over on the shoulder.  In Phoenix - construction on I 17 increases traffic worries with lane closures.  Agree with RV Dude - take your time and enjoy the wonderful sights!   Linda

If you can avoid the lower elevations at this time of the year you will be happier. Places like Show Low, Flagstaff and Grand Canyon are higher elevation and have better temperatures than Phoenix, Tucson or Yuma. Some friends are in Arizona right now, http://www.mytripjournal.com/wiseman15, but staying at higher elevations.

I agree with Bill.  Parts of Arizona can be unbearably hot this time of year, so you'll be better of at higher elevations.  I think the average temp in Tucson in June is somewhere around 100.
