First time to post on this site but I was hoping some of you could help me out with a question regarding RV tailgating lots.

My family is buying an RV any day now and wanted to look into going to a game or two next year with the RV. Can anyone help to let me know where the best RV lots are located, possible prices I might expect, how the lots are run (i.e. - first come, first serve, assigned spots, etc), RV spaces' size for tailgating, when you can arrive, etc?

Sorry for all the questions...I've never really paid attention to any RV related items until just recently.

Geaux Tigers!

I just finished my first season tailgating in a RV in the Vet Med lot. I really enjoyed it. Spots are tight (park in the third row and it is rare that someone will be next to you) and you are on gravel but it just seemed friendly all year. Met a bunch of great people and I look forward to it next year. I think for all the games it was a little over a thousand bucks (prices increased this year apparently) - you can select individual games or packages in the vet med.

Make sure you get an exhaust extension because they make their rounds in this lot.

Vet med is first come, first serve - lot opens on Friday morning. Its a decent walk (adjacent to River Road across from the Vet School) but easily managable.

Are there any lots that allow 5th wheels? We will be buying a 5th wheel (not a motorhome).

Thanks to all for the info!

Also seeing some policies on RV generators. We have one that we leave in the bed of our truck to dampen the sound (which isn't too bad anyway). Is there anything about how loud a generator can be? I don't know how I would push the exhaust up, etc.

ive seen people use the flexible dryer vent hose. just put it over the exhaust on the generator and run it up the side of the RV.

Vet Med does and I've tailgated in TD Village with a travel trailer. LSU says the trailer must have living quarters. In TD Village you have to have your tow vehicle out at a certain time. In Vet Med you can keep your tow vehicle with your trailer.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how large the spaces are?

Is there a better lot for tailgating than another?

Touchdown village spots are all assigned. Spots are approx. 50 feet long by 12-14 feet wide.

We've been in TD Village II for 10 years now and we have an assigned spot. Some people come and go, but we have a core group of about 6-8 neighbors that come every year and we have really enjoyed it. We are more than likely changing to a 5th wheel toy hauler next year, and they do ask you to move your tow vehicle (or tow-behind, if you're in a self contained unit) by 11:00am on a standard night game. However, if you take care of your security guards at the gate, they tend to be a little more forgiving

Can't comment on the other lots but I'm sure it is much the same. I'll never tailgate any other way.

Where exactly do you move your tow vehicle to? Is there a place in the parking lot to park it?

Vet Med lot is pretty fun but don't mess with people that park around the perimeter. They've has those spots for years and are very protective.

You guys are just wrong about having to move your two vehicle from Touchdown Village. I have been pulling my fifth wheel to TD Village for the past five years. Not only is it not true that you have to move your tow vehicle, but you MUST keep your tow vehicle with your fifth wheel/trailer. Think of the worst case scenario - the fifth wheel catches on fire. For safety reasons you have to keep you vehicle there to pull the thing away. I got this straight from the safety officer who regularly patrols the lots.

There is a rule that you can't leave the lot in your vehicle within a 6 hour time frame prior to kickoff. But, you must keep your tow vehicle with your trailer.

Oh, there is a waiting list for parking spots in TD Village.

Hi All!

I was hoping to get more insight on other's preferences and opinions on the various RV lots. I would appreciate any and all comments.

It doesn't look like I will be able to get due to the waitlist but was curious if people usually sell these passes on the secondary markets. If so, how much should I expect for games like Florida and A&M? Besides the Vet Med lot, what other lots are first-come with a pass?

Thanks again and I'm sure I will have more questions as the season gets closer.
