This is true. Tembo Tusk customers can also stop by the AAV booth and meet up with other like-minded Tembo Tusk customers or even American Adventurists.
I did that last year and we could do it again, volunteers? All that's needed is a roll of engineer tape (hi vis ribbon) and a few stakes to make a box on the ground. Then someone has to watch our claim lest claim jumpers and interlopers take over. Best done on Thursday, put the box by the "gate" to the camp area on the lake bed and AAV folks will have less of a walk to "main street" OVX.
Thanks Woody, and thanks for volunteering Dan!
Folks, we're proud to introduce our Mayor for AAV Camp at Overland Expo West 2015!
Do you think we should alert Dan that he was voluntold, er, volunteered, for this duty or should we let him just stumble on it?

I did this at expo east...you could see the banner but I was being cammoman. There won't be any trees but there will be a big flat box on the ground.
GunnerMoose and some others are camping above the expo on some BLM where they can have fires/quieter/less dust...I may stay up thar with theyuns. I'm supposed to be joining them for the Utah BDR a week after the expo. Border to border Arizona through Utah to Idaho all on dirt roads. Except maybe Lockhart Basin...I'm also possibly meeting them later for the Oregon BDR heading up to the NW Overland expo in Plain Wa.

Better than Humpalump...if I am there early and have access to some bright cheery caution tape, then I will be happy to setup a nice rhombus on the ground fer y'all , but as mayor I may serve in absentia. Or maybe since I'll be a politician I might be easy to coerce with some fine root beers...I do take bribes ya know!
Have a look here to see who is who in the zoo:

If there is a particular thing that you want from a vendor I recommend contacting them in advance to ensure that you get it at the event. Some things (fridges, solar etc) sell out quick so do your homework before you go.
Every year I say I don't need anything (I really don't), but every year I see something there that is new that blows my mind or somehow ends up in the truck...
It's also a good opportunity to see what is worth getting, and what is consumer grade crap that's not worth your money.
Last year, the food on site was pretty damn good - the Navajo fry bread was KILLER!

I'm still in the market for a portable compressor, who do you think would carry something decent? I'd love a double mounted ARB or one with a tank but, I'm not sure if one of those is gonna be in the near future. Gotta have some funds to travel to Expo and beyond.

We are *really* trying to fit attending the expo into our time line and budget!! We have to be back in Edmonton, AB, Canada for the end of May and have commitments in Florida until May 5th...

That gives you plenty of time to make it out to the Expo. It will be so worth your time! Plus the area is filled with wonderful places to explore!
