Altoonahawk-

I asked that question a few months ago and started this thread: http://ragbrai.com/forums/topic/rv-usage/ It should have some helpful info for you. I will be doing the RV thing this year. No direct experience, as this is my first RAGBRAI in 25 years. Each town will have a separate RV camping area that allow generators to run all night. (tent camping area does not) There are no electric/water/sewer hookups, although each town will have a dump station and, i assume, a place to take on water.

You will need a pass and in order to get a pass you need a team of at least three people. I assume that your non-riding driver can count toward the three, but I didn’t look into that closely, as I already had three riders.

benefit to staying at the rv spots (usely have to have a RV sticker) there is usely shuttle stops close by, showers are close because they are usely in schools parking lots, which also means you can plug phones in sit in the AC while your phone charges or even take a nap in the AC, you can use generators (most of our team tent it and most of the rv areas have had areas that you can put tents up)

As far as water my dad just ask someone if he can fill the water tank with there garden hose and pays them a few dollars. sewer he dumps at towns they have it marked on the town maps you do have to pay, but we don’t have to dump that much because we use the portapotty or the schools restroom and showers when ever possible.
