Rockin’ RVing & Music Festival Camping
Here at Roadtrip Mojo, we like giving stuff away. Carabiners, koozies, flashlights to shine the way through a darkened festival site or campground. But we really dig giving away hammocks. Maybe it’s just us, but we dig seeing people just hanging around at campsites or music festivals.
So imagine our elation when the winner of our latest Kammock Hammock Double Roo Giveaway was a legit festival camper.

RoadtripMojo spent a few hours at the West Palm Beach RV Show last weekend scouting new rigs and products for the campsite and music festival fair grounds. We dig walking RV shows. Did one a month ago. There’ll be another in a month or two. Yeah, we’re kinda quirky that way.
But we’re on a hunt for the latest or time-tested innovations that we unearth at these shows. Some products are new. Some are new to us. Some won’t jazz tent campers. Most are bright shiny objects that piqued our interest – and may turn heads among other RVers, campers, and festival goers. Best of all, most are buy today / use today simple (OK, maybe not new rubber for the RV, but read on and you’ll see…).

He’s created music festivals, opened celebrated concert venues, and staged shows that have brought together the “core four” surviving members of the Grateful Dead for a series of farewell shows – and conjured the magic of the Dead. But Peter Shapiro is never far from the spirit of the road. Whether it was touring for a month to shoot video for his college documentary, or rolling 13,254 miles following the band for a second documentary, Shapiro’s a fan of the road.
To hear him tell it, many of Shapiro’s experiences come from being on the road or being on tour. He turned money from his documentary work to rent a van and hit the road. They traveled the Lower 48 to create American Road, a seven-minute short film featuring imagery of the continental United States set to the song, “You Enjoy Myself” by Phish. It was one of two of his films screened at Sundance.

Even before Lockn’ music festival dropped its lineup last week, promoter Peter Shapiro had promised he’d be building upon some sick collaborations of year’s past – like Mad Dogs & Englishmen or last year’s Lettuce / Dead & Company / Eric Krasno late-night frenzy.Trust him when he says this. Shapiro isn’t just a smart festival producer who knows what fans want to see. He knows what he wants to see. Because he’s one of us.
Don’t believe us? Tee up this set from Lockn’ 2018 where Lettuce and Eric Krasno welcomed Dead & Company’s Bob Weir and John Mayer on stage. At about 58 minutes in, down in front, you’ll see Shapiro like a kid in a candy shop, digging what he delivered.
In this RoadtripMojo interview, Shapiro talks about his history as a Dead head, how he curates shows, and how he keeps the festival and camping experience alive.
