We had a second appointment with the National Indoor RV Center in Phoenix, Arizona the following day, to do some more enhancements and repairs, so we spent the night a short distance away at a Boondockers Welcome location, the Buckeye Desert Backyard in Buckeye, Arizona.

Boondockers Welcome is a service where people can list their property as available for RVers to come stay for a night (or a few nights), at no cost (though a small donation to cover any electricity used is appreciated).

This one didn’t provide any hookups, but were okay with us using our generator, and provided fast Wi-Fi (which I measured at 25 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up). The owners (and their two dogs) met us and chatted. It was easy to get to, a nicely fenced and flat space, where we didn’t need to disconnect our toad:

Here’s Jenn’s review on the Boondockers Welcome site:

Dan and Marina made us feel completely at home, welcoming us as we drove in and guiding us to just the perfect spot so we’d be level. Their place is a convenient stop off I-10 and they gave us great directions for continuing our journey the next day, saving us from sitting in rush hour traffic. I can’t say enough nice things about how wonderful and generous they are. When we’re next in the PHX area, we will definitely stop again.
