Hi Dave, I've brought my 18' Toy Hauler to Camp Tahquitz/Mountain Rendezvous previously (and had no issues), will I be turned away this year?
[Edit: The Toy Hauler is less than two feet longer than my truck.]

That's a little guy and you know the drill. We're concerned with the big guys who take up the space of 4 vehicles crowding other people out with a Class A or C or some 5th wheel monstrosity. This is NOT that kind of event so we're letting new people know that up front.
Did you park up on top or take it down into the bowl?

Thanks Dave! I parked up top.
Are you suggesting BRIBERY as a viable option to get past the gatekeeper?
Bribery? Perish the thought. I just like to make sure the AAV Staff is well taken care ofAre you suggesting BRIBERY as a viable option to get past the gatekeeper?
