The Fortuna Foothills lot is our winter-season home base, and the surrounding 200-mile radius is peak-season snowbird territory — the largest concentration of off-grid RVers in the country during January and February. We work customer rigs from Yuma out to Phoenix, San Diego, Palm Springs, and the Colorado River corridor throughout the winter.
Why Southwest Arizona in winter
Winter here is shirt-sleeve weather — the conditions that let us install on rigs parked at long-term sites without weather risk. Daytime temperatures in January hover in the mid-60s to low-70s, with cool nights that test thermal cycling on lithium systems. Nowhere else in the U.S. has this combination of winter workable weather plus high snowbird density.
Where our winter work happens
- Yuma / Fortuna Foothills base — the lot hosts multi-day destination builds
- Quartzsite / Parker — the RTR and the Colorado River boondocking corridor
- Phoenix metro — 150–180 miles east, routine
- San Diego / Imperial Valley — 170 miles west, routine
- Palm Springs / Joshua Tree — 160 miles northwest
- Blythe — 75 miles north, regular
Destination builds at the Yuma lot
The Fortuna Foothills lot is set up to host customer rigs for multi-day builds — full 50 A hookup, water, secure fenced yard, large-rig accommodation. Customers from outside the 200-mile mobile radius often choose to drive in for a destination build rather than have us travel. See the destination-build service page for what a typical week looks like.
