We were told by many burners to tape up windows and bins. I can say it worked well for us and our cleanup was minimal after leaving the playa. Has nothing to do with how well an RV is built, it's just a safety measure to keep the fine dust from getting through the cracks.
We tape down cardboard to the floor, helps a lot in clean up... duct tape will patch any rips. Buy a roll of "underlayment" from Home Depot in the flooring section and cut with scissors.
We did and it was dusty but we had no trouble getting it clean at the car wash. We went to a self clean truck wash with an undercarrage wash and a latter to get up on the roof. It took us 2 hours to get her shinny as new.
nice vid guys, im coming for the first time this year all the way from Oz! ive put a deposit down on an RV, but never driven one before, so this was really helpful! thanks!
before you get to BM there is town Fernley there is lowes,home depot,walmart and there you can get all you need ,we had 21galons water per person, we did not use shower in RV (to small) we had solar shower for outside and plenty water to shower every evening , we get RV in salt lake city and even there for the week of BM RV cost double then week before and week after, they know :) sleep till 11 before it get to hot or run your a/c and be lock down in your R/V(NO) ,night is very cold no AC NEEDED
If you will not run a/c in your RV then we got 44-46c in there and we also open window and door later when there was no dust (visible) in air or evening if we stay around RV which we did not a much, you need to put some thing front of the RV or on the stairs to clear shoes and then we get roll of paper 2feed wide from lowes and cover whole floor and tape it down cover you dash board with towels or blanket this save time to clean this dust from there which take some time, they charge me
wow, did you look in your engine compartment, and undercarriage after? My vehicles entire engine compartment was caked permanently with dust. glad to hear.
Quick question: When you purchased your RV, were the window seals not reinforced? Perhaps "reinforced" is the wrong word, but I know that some newer RV models come with windows that are sealed more strongly to prevent water and dust from getting inside.
The RV's for rent are outrageous! Not sure what kind of tape you had, ours was the light duty kind of painters tape that doesn't leave a residue behind. Sucks you had such a crappy RV experience at burning man.
Sand will will get inside anything from brakes, AC units to vent pipes and filters are useless as they will clog up. It's the one thing I avoid at all cost unless you like fixing stuff.
I was there with RV to , and also some one give us advice to use tape around windows and else WHAT A WRONG MOVE ! we had both types of tapes blue and yellow both of them got cooked by soon and we spend over 2 hours to clean that glue stuck on RV and non on the tape which tear apart in inches, maybe we got old tape or I do not know , all I can tell you this year I'll go with tent no need RV in my case I was all alright in that heat because I'm from florida,RV was great but expensive.
if you drive RV thru the places where is dust or heavy rain with winds plus you drive against rain 60mph and water or dust did not get inside so what is the deal with tape standing on one spot for one week , sure dust on playa is very fine but still! you do no what is my point DO NOT DO SAME mistake as we did with unneeded tape, dust did get in the RV anyway on the clothing(if you willing to wear any) on shoes when you open door to get in and out, after 2 days we give up to believe NO DUST IN RV
1000$ deposit because they did know we going to BM and tell us that we can say bye bye to our deposit I told them that we'll see about that because I'm in cleaning business for over 10 years we got all our deposit back and they did ask us if we really went to BM ,ha ha cleaning take 4 hours (3 guys) truck wash 29$ self wash 20$ cleaning supl.,20$ from that 20$ only 10$ was for chemical to remove glue from tape, with no tape and covered dash board it would take 1:30min in 3 persons, make a plan
If you want to bring your RV to burning man.....don't! I would read up on it more first. I would never tell a friend to bring a super nice RV. Just bringing a nice van was a bit of a nightmare because the dust gets all over everywhere if it's a stormy year.
the place looks like a hipster sanctuary city .trendier then I phones and go bros on narcisticksthe mandatory played out black wheels on range rovers and the end of the world jeep wrangler crew whilst imitating a north face showroom display many weird look at me nose rings boring aviators and yoga pants on dudes ,oops besides complaining about the poor internet service the trusty ones are complaining about the fact that starbucks didn't bring out a huge barista on wheels you need to tell your hairdresser to travel a little more he is getting boring it is like watching GLEE on wheels , regardless of my stupid rantings you guys do a great job with your channel keep up the good work
Is this satire? Holy bourgeoisie Batman! Let's go to this totally sustainable and alternative festival in our extremely expensive gas guzzling RV. And don't forget to tape up all the cracks because we wouldn't wan't any dust in our suburban cocoon. Oh and make sure you bring your ice makers everybody! But hey we're totally ecological and stuff because we picked up all the plastic water bottles!
With the taped windows, we didn't have much dust and it was no big deal to clean up after. We loved having our RV and will do it again.

Painter's tape! Why haven't I thought of that! Definitely a necessity! Thanks for the great tips!

Hey! The windows are the latest and greatest but with the way the wind blows out on the playa we didn't want to take any chances.
Seems like so much to remember, do you guys carry a roster or a list of the things you need to do in the morning before you head out?

Burn on! Some of the best tips I have found on this. We will have to leave the kids at home for this one.
There is a kids camp, if you're serious about going it can be done in a safe environment.

dang! thats the way to burn. my god. look at that rv
Hey, did this cause any issues with your slide? Did you take any precautions with the slide?
Rent one... why distroy yours with all that playa dust, but rental companies have gotten wise
I would have gotten a white one tbh but as long as you have an air conditioner I guess that's chill
The RV's for rent are outrageous! Not sure what kind of tape you had, ours was the light duty kind of painters tape that doesn't leave a residue behind. Sucks you had such a crappy RV experience at burning man.
how you empty grey and black water tanks?
I think I saw you guys on tv buying you rv.
Sand will will get inside anything from brakes, AC units to vent pipes and filters are useless as they will clog up. It's the one thing I avoid at all cost unless you like fixing stuff.
Claude Rains it's not sand.. it's dust, but yea!

OTHER TIPS are great just the tape I would skip that (windows seal well), by the way you guys have great RV , see ya on the playa (iris/8:45)
House hunter!!
It might just be me, but rolling up to black rock city in a $200k appliance.. doesn't seem compatible with the ethos of non-consumerism
im just gonna bring a buck knife and hunt for food im a wild man

Is your RV really that poorly built that you have to tape it up? I guess you get what you pay for.
No 1. Drive it off a cliff, then start packing your truck with a tent, .......
+silentbob71420 You're in the wrong place.
