Show Off Your RV!

Hello,
I'm a TV producer looking for people who have "tricked out" RV's they are taking to Burning Man in August. If you'd like to show off your hard work, email me as soon as possible at [email protected] - along with a photo of your RV.

-Dan

Anyone who has a tricked out RV is going to leave it home and not bring it to the harsh, dusty, windy, hot desert to be destroyed at Burning Man. What they WILL bring is a 25 year old beaten to shit Winnebago, that they really don't care about.
I hope you find this information helpful!

Respectfully,
Shambala

So Yggy, are you bring that marvelous contraption this year, or what? I thought you said you weren't, in some other thread.

Hey there buckaroo!
We care a lot about our 21 year old beater!

Though its not as pimped out as Yggy's fire sleeper contraption!

That's quite a big first step there yag. I sure hope you don't have to head over to the can in the middle of the night!

HA!! That is just cool. I bet the shower has plenty of pressure. Do you have the monitor piped into the plumbing of the camper?

How many extentions do those trailor jacks have?

Post by **Elderberry** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 8:35 pm

I could picture doing that. (He found steps for it though; posted a pic in another forum.)

It is my plan, Savannah. I'm hoping to finish wiring and such in the next week or so........

haha, yeah, If I plumbed it in, I could have 300 psi in the shower/sandblaster.

OED: none..........I put it on with my crane:

I am SO jealous of your camper, ygmir...!

Well, if you don't use the on-board tank for your drinking/shower water, just think of how much gray-water or black-water it can hold!

As if it's not enough the man owns a firetruck RV, he just happens to have a crane lying around he can use to put it all together.

*Oi*

Like one of the Old Gods he is....

I guess that means we'll have to look really closely at him. If he's got a glass eye, Odin. If he's missing an arm, Tyr--and he and I have a chat about amputations.
Past that, I'm not sure.

YGMIR That green Firetruck Camper is spectacular. What a glorious car. I can only begin to imagine all the different liquids you could shoot with such enormous pressure. Though, I guess that is under the assumption that it has a reservoir and pump. Either way, snap and crackle that's legit.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 10:23 pm

yup, tank, pump, and 8 outlets, including a monitor on top.
1500 GPM @ 150 PSI.

yeehaw, looking for scalpers on the way in.

People do bring good RVs out there, even classic ones.

My neighbors last time were selling to buy a newer model, and the one they had was quite nice.
I've seen stretched VW campers out there.
Mirror polished antique airstreams and even rarer types.

There are entire camps for airstreams, Burnstream Courts, I think?

I'm pretty confident that rvs out there range up to the higher end, with the $1-1.5 million buses out there.

I tipped a guy off to burning man that I'm pretty sure has shown up by now.
He was already too burnie for the show anyway.
He was just picking up a new bus and trailer, both custom made to max out the legal dimensions to the inch.
He had a double deck garage in the back, with a tuned porsche truck and a merc SLK, also hopped up.
Stunt sky diver and driver.

You should talk to Steve and Juicy in San Francisco.
They have a vintage car, Billy, and a matching era trailer.
They have brought both out to the playa before.
Extremely surreal seeing those there.

If you go out and document interesting RVs, I hope you take more than one crew.

Nice!

Looks totally stock now.

Wow, dude, that stripe is awesome.

Looks like you have room for all kinds of fun in the center there, too, wow... need a string of solar xmas lights for the edge of that overhang? I think I can spare some; the blue ones I got are pretty bright.

Bwahahahahahaha, fun fun fun...

OMG!!!! That's a sight you don't see every day, that's for certain.

Post by **Eric** » Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:13 pm

Yggy! That is sweet! I'm so glad you painted the stripe like that, totally brings it in.

Why am I visualizing little statues of firemen holding up the front like caryatids in Greece:
