When RV Covers Do Double Duty as Music Festival, Campsite Shade

Looking to protect your RV or travel trailer, keep it looking pretty when you pull into your next music festival or just feel sharp while driving down the open road – and create some effective shade on your campsite? A tarp may be your answer.

For some, roof protection doubles as festival shade and load protection.  When doing double duty for protection, shade, and cover for travel, tarps are critical.  Just make sure you’re scouting the right product. And some just want shade with no protection at all…

Tweak of the Week: Retool RV Dinette to Host Music Festival, Camping Friends

A functional disconnect often arises when you take delivery of a RV or travel trailer you intend to take to music festivals or large campground gatherings. As the name suggests, the dinette was designed for dining. Yet, when we’re hosting friends at a music festival or campsite, we spend more time hanging out than dining in. So, how can you maximize “dinette” functionality?

We’ve seen a bunch of Facebook posts and pix on great ideas. They’ve included everything from one on Fun RV Stuff on pulling the seating and installing a couch or recliners, or cutting a new wood plank to serve as a narrow platform between the benches.

OkeeFest: A Florida Music Festival Feast for the Senses

We make no secret at RoadtripMojo that our first love is jam bands. We’ll travel almost a thousand miles – and fly even farther – to see bands that turn a three-minute song into a 15-minute improvisational frenzy. But when an event like Okeechobee Music Festival springs up each year 90 miles from our South Florida homes, a two-hour drive is a no-brainer. Truth be told, OMF is heavy into electronic dance music, or EDM. But with some “real” bands on hand, like Turquaz, Lettuce, Big Gigantic, Slightly Stoopid, Trombone Shorty, and a few others, we figured it was worth a day trip. Man, was it ever…

The Most Important Piece of Camping Gear: Flashlights

From HikingTier’s Best Camping Flashlight

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right. Sometimes no matter how hard you look for something, there just isn’t enough light for the task. Camp at enough music festivals and inevitably you get caught in the dark.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been searching the tow vehicle (TV), the storage compartment in the camper, or making my way through a thick stand of sitting / resting / raging music fans in total blackness. Many of our best camping festival sites are steeped in total darkness once the sun goes down.
