Renting an RV for the Auburn game and tailgating in TD village 2. Picking it up Friday morning and will be parked on campus Friday night. No hookups obviously. Any recommendations for a first time RV'er are appreciated.

You should be good for the weekend. I have some friends that do 3 nights for every home game in Tuscaloosa. He says he stops somewhere to empty sewage on Sunday morning. They are an older couple and don’t do a ton of cooking or anything. Just snack foods and sandwiches most of the weekend. Water use is the main thing that drives the sewage tank. So a quick rinse off shower once a day and the man says he will go to a public restroom for his daily constitutional.

What's the point of hassling with an RV if you end up using a public restroom? Seems silly to me.

How many people will be with you? Depending on the RV, those tanks can fill up fast if you have a handful of people. Grey water especially when you factor in showers. The shitter will fill up fast if you have a bunch of women with you, or y'all start pounding beers. Alabama's lots have porto-potties though that most people use.

And definitely plan on grilling or doing all your cooking outside the RV. Those propane flat tops are great. The kitchens in those RV's put out a bunch of heat into the RV.

They roll into town Thursday night. Leave Sunday morning. It is a short walk from where they park to several buildings on campus. They tow a car behind it and get out a few times a day. Not like every time he goes he's walking somewhere, but he said it can add up over 3 days between the two of them and any guests. More of a hassle to drive it somewhere to dump the tank than to just go before they drive their car back to the lot.

Showers should be on/off - on get wet, turn off, soap up, turn on rinse off.

Generator - make sure you have an exhaust pipe for your generator or you will be unable to use the generator

Generator - make sure the generator is running properly before arriving on campus

If you want to dump, there is a truck that comes around Saturday morning, which to me is dumb. Come around Sunday morning. I am unsure if the truck also sells potable water? Also, can use dump station at Cabello on Hwy 30 and I-10. $5 fee

Make certain you have an extended exhaust pipe for your generator that goes over the roof or else LSU will shut you down.

Fill the water holding tank but be conservative. If you wash dishes or take a shower don't leave the water running constantly.

Be mindful of your grey and black water tank levels.

We would use the RV restroom until it fills up. Then go to the porta potties.

Just me and the wife friday night.

Probably 25 people tailgating saturday. Was planning on turning the water pump off to conserve water and supply germ x. If the shitter fills up then people will just have to walk. My only concern is enough water to shower.

Also bought this for backup:

This was my plan for the generator exhaust. I'm not gonna buy a nice setup for one time. This should do the trick I hope.
