RV Country: Toy Haulers are here!


You may remember a past blog we wrote about the Sandsport Toy Haulers. Well, we’re back with another one to let you know that they are here! The toy hauler category has gained popularity over the year, so much in fact that we’re having trouble keeping up with all the requests! We’re so excited to have everyone come down and take a look at these exceptional units. We have a large selection to choose from. We have used toy haulers and new toy haulers for sale. And we provide RV financing! Our newest line of toy haulers, the Sandsport by Pacific Coach Works is a must see! The Sandsport was unveiled at the RV Dealers International Convention back in October, and as we’re about to point out it has many features you won’t find on its competition.
 
The Sandsport 18FKSL model has two LPG tanks, whereas the Eclipse Attitude 18FKG model only has one. Why is this important? Well, having two means not having to go to the store and hope they sell propane when your first tank runs out while you’re in the middle of cooking a fabulous dinner for your family. The Sandsport also boasts an electric awning. Perfect for those days that you want to sit outside and enjoy the rain, but don’t really want to stand out in the rain getting soaking wet while cranking open that manual awning that the Eclipse has. An exterior ladder will also come in handy should you need to gain access to the roof for any reason and the Sandsport has a very handy exterior ladder indeed. The Eclipse... no exterior ladder. And how would you like FOUR stabilizing jacks? Wouldn’t having four make you feel that much better versus the two that the Eclipse has? How about a radius edged roof similar to a motorhome rather than a flat roof - you guessed it. The Sandsport gives you this fancy little perk as well. 


The folks over at Pacific Coach Works have really stepped up and produced a magnificent unit, and if we haven’t convinced you yet, just wait. We’ll have another blog coming soon with details on the interior. In the mean time, check out this video with our vice president Curt Curtis, as he gives you a tour of the Sandsport, and if you find that you’re as excited as we are, stop in and see one for yourself at any one of our four locations!

RV Country: A delicious breakfast, dutch oven style


Here’s a delicious recipe sure to get your day started off right, and the family will love you for it. Simple, yet complex with flavor, we give you "French Toast Casserole". You may be wondering if you have to prepare it the night before, but the answer my friends, is no. This is the best part... You can prepare it in the morning and it's ready in about 30-45 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need to have on hand:

1 large loaf French bread
8 eggs
3 cups milk
4 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces

 
Tear bread into 1-2 inch chunks. Put pulled apart bread in a 12" Dutch oven. Beat together all remaining ingredients, except butter. Pour over bread. Dot the top with butter. Bake with 9 coals on bottom and 15 on top. It should be done in 30-45 minutes, when eggs are set.

 
We’d love to tell you that we came up with this yummy treat, but we confess it comes to us courtesy of Rvingoutpost.com and we’d like to thank them for sharing this recipe! It sure does sound tasty.

If anyone tries this, let us know how you liked it.

RV Country: Quartzsite, here we come!


The time has FINALLY arrived! We have been counting down the days to this huge event since October. We’ve talked about it, written about it, we’ve even dreamed about it! Did you know that we’ve even been moving inventory to Quartzsite since after Christmas and finally... finally we get to say "WE'RE HERE!". Set up has begun and you can literally feel the excitement in the air as we all prepare for this grand RV show. If you’re wondering why we get so excited about it, let us take you on a little tour (blog style). When you first roll up to Quartzsite, it's hard to imagine just how huge this event really is. There are literally thousands of people from all over the United States and Canada that visit here every year to take part in this event. And it's not just a weekend show. This show is practically a month long, and most everyone stays for the duration. RVers have even earned the name ‘modern day gypsies’ when they come out to this show. As you find the spot you’ll call home for the next few weeks, you’ll start to feel it - the excitement. It's all around you. The people, the food, the entertainment, the gem show, the car show, the new RV’s! It's just all so much! It's almost sensory overload. It's really one of those events you just have to experience to understand the excitement we all feel.
We’re not 100% finished with our set up yet, but we do have our sign up directing you where to go to find us. If you can find the big white Main Event Tent, then you can find us... We’re right next to it! We’ve also got motor homes rolling in and lining up and we even have some salesmen there already!




















Last year the Keystone Montana was our top seller, so this year we made sure to bring in plenty for everyone! The Keystone Montana is the number one selling fifth wheel in America, and that was certainly proven true last year when we sold out of them at Quartzsite. The Montana is a perfect fit for anyone that enjoys the comfort of home, plus has the need for a work space. It also has a fireplace! Moving on to the kitchen, the Keystone Montana features an island with enough counter space to prepare a feast and enough pantry shelving to stock up for the entire month you’ll be in Quartzsite - this kitchen is fabulous! The bedroom is equipped with a king size bed and a spacious shower with sun roof, and plenty of closet and storage space. If you want to know more, we have a video just for you. Our vice president, Curt Curtis was gracious enough to let us record him explaining why he chooses to stay in the Montana every year that he goes to Quartzsite, and he even gives a nice tour of the 3400 model.  






We hope you'll take a look, and we are looking forward to seeing you very soon at the Quartzsite RV Show!
