Headed To Algodones

We're headed to Yuma tomorrow.  I have a dental appointment in Algodones.  This will be a first for me, however based on the number of reviews I have read I'm not at all concerned.



I have an old filling that cannot be replaced and needs a crown.  The cost at home is $1100, which my dental insurance doesn't cover.  The cost in Algodones is $360, so it is a no brainer since we are close to the border.

Generally, the work can be done in a couple of days, however this is the busy season for them.  It may take longer, so we will be taking the truck camper if we have to stay longer.  Boondocking may not be feasible since the holding tanks in the truck camper are so small and with two people they fill up fast.  So, we are considering staying at the Pilot Knob RV park - that is if they allow truck campers.  Some parks don't.  If I'm told the crown won't be ready until next week, then we'll have to consider our options.

Just one day more...

  2. The have a 24 hour lab there so I am sure you will be in and out in a couple of days. Remember to take US cash as they charge a premium for credit or debit cards. Dental work is never fun but getting it done for a reasonable cost makes it much easier to take. Say "Hi" to George and Suzi for us.
