Just wanted newbies to know all are available for campers. The shower trucks were awesome. The guy running EDII's on the first row was on it, keeping it clean. Saved all that room in my gray tank and I was able to make it through Thurs-Monday without dumping. We didn't have enough ice for that many days and being able to buy ice in ED1 was a life saver also. I took a luggage tub (plastic box) and put water in it at the bottom of my RV steps for rinsing my dirty, sandal wearing feet off before going in the rig. It was dusty!! We also took squirt guns and filled them at the sinks in front off the shower truck. The last thing is the wind. In the afternoon the wind picks up and a couple of the older rigs lost their awnings, so I suggest stowing them just to be on the safe side.

great post!....it was reallllllllly windy Sunday eve...even if you aren't worried about your stuff blowing away, please think of the rig/tent next to you...it's something to think about before heading off to the concert...I bought some "dog stakes" at the dollar store--those metal, twisty things you screw into the ground to tie up your pooch-- a couple months ago, have used them to stake my RV awning down, & I use "de-flappers" everytime I put out my awning these days & I will NOT leave an EZ up while gone..

yes please keep your awning in, last year ours rubbed up against our neighbors travel trailer and marked it up, we told him about it and that we would take care of it through insurance and he said don't worry about it, at least you told me! you might not get that lucky and have a big repair bill..

I forgot about the wind last year..it was a killer for those of us wearing contact lenses..bring a pair of glasses just in case.
also... i loved being able to wash my feet off at night, and even during the day if it was hot.

even if you dont have contacts i found myself trying to take dust out of my eyes. i had totally forgot about this. good thing inside the actual concert its mostly grass. i remember outside and the walk there there was a lot of dust.
