Might want to look at PVC and rebar first. Never seen anyone leave an RV on (or in) the playa.

Your chiping at a idea here. While strolling along the grand ave. of BRC. A person can see some fine art and great theme camp. Only to see a great clutter of RV sticking out of the camps. In the past year there are more RVs along the front of the city than art/theme camps. I would suggest instead of a tax that a coral be staked out. Say on the outer ring. A tax would be glady payed for a yuppie seat up front. This will never come to be. Larry Harvy and crew are in the front row along with the other well to do. Us poor folks are to enjoy the spotting ( by theme camp comittee) of the rich W/RV-yahoos. As years pass are we to see only RVs lined up side by side along the front of the city?
I'm the contraptioneer your mother warned you about.

Good example, let's keep it going!
Yep. You go meet your neighbors so they think "Hey let's go meet the other neighbors" and so on and so on.
It's what you make it.
