Why it's cool to go to Burning Man in a motorhome

  • Living in a motorhome is significantly more comfortable than staying in a tent or marquee. It provides all the essentials for surviving in the desert: a bed, shower, toilet, stove, refrigerator, storage space for personal items and food, and air conditioning. The air conditioning is particularly important, as daytime temperatures in Black Rock City can soar to +40°C (104°F).
  • An RV also allows you to bring bicycles with you—a must-have for navigating the Black Rock Desert. The event area spans over 10 square kilometres, making it challenging to explore on foot.
  • The camper can be decorated! Even a motorhome can become a work of art. The main thing is to make sure that the decor does not spoil the outer covering
  • RV will protect you and your belongings from sandstorms and other adverse weather conditions.

Present in all popular cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, etc.

CruiseAmerica

IndieCampers
Rent Class C 24−26 ft., 2023−2025. Deposit $2200, can be reduced to $550 with premium insurance.
Fast-growing company, new to the US market, offering low prices.

El Monte RV and Road Bear RV
Two companies of the same holding. They rent RVs at comfort and premium levels.
Class C 21−32 ft, available with retractable walls (slide-out), and Class A, popular among burners. 2023−2024

Deposit for Burning Man $ 1500. On average, it's a little more expensive than CruiseAmerica or IndieCampers, but RVs are newer and premium level.

Conclusion:
more budget: CruiseAmerica or IndieCampers,
more comfortable + Class A: El Monte RV or Road Bear RV.
What's the best city to rent an RV in for Burning Man?
When choosing a starting city for your trip to Black Rock City, two key factors should be considered: distance and cost.
Las Vegas and Los Angeles are the most optimal starting points, offering the best balance between distance and rental prices.
San Francisco tends to be 20%–50% more expensive on average.
Reno is significantly overpriced, costing 2-3 times more than other cities.
Phoenix, Denver, and other distant cities offer cheaper rental options, but the savings are offset by high fuel consumption—30 litres per 100 km. These locations are a good choice if you plan to travel before or after Burning Man. Travelling after the event is especially advantageous since prices tend to drop in September.
How are we working?
We have long-standing partnerships with all the mentioned and many other trusted rental companies across the United States. Thanks to significant partner discounts and exclusive conditions, we offer our clients the lowest possible prices. On average, renting through us is 10%–25% cheaper.

Guaranteed Best Prices on the Market
If you find a lower price elsewhere, simply send us the offer. We will either beat that price or explain the difference. Often, our prices already include additional options that cheaper offers do not.

Exclusive Last-Minute Deals
Occasionally, reservations made in winter or spring get cancelled. In these cases, we can provide deals that are significantly lower than the current market prices.

Priority Access to Availability
A major advantage of booking through GREAT RV TRIP is that we always have options available—even when other rental companies are fully booked.

If you decide to book on your own for any reason, still reach out to us! There's a good chance we can offer you an additional discount, bonus, promo code, or cashback. Even if you've already made a reservation, it's worth contacting us—we might still be able to provide you with an extra benefit.

Honesty and Transparency First
Our core principles are honesty and openness. In rare cases, booking directly with a rental company or choosing another option may genuinely be more beneficial for you. If that happens, we'll honestly explain all the pros and cons to help you make the best decision.
This is how we build long-term trust with our clients.
Booking and payment
To reserve an RV for Burning Man, a deposit of $200 is required. Full payment for RV rentals is due 70 days prior to the start of the rental. If the reservation is made less than 70 days in advance, 100% of the cost is paid. When picking up the motorhome at the rental office, you only have to pay a refundable security deposit of $1000-$1500 (depending on the company). Payment of the deposit is made by a bank card issued in the name of the main renter.
When to book
The earlier, the better. Even if your plans change, you can change dates, cities, and models at any time, only with additional payment of the difference in tariffs, if any. In short, the best time to book is NOW.
You can even secure your rental for 2026 today!

Burning Man 2024. How it was

Rented 100+ RVs in 2024 to Burners from 20+ countries

Expert RV Services for Burning Man

In addition to rental companies, you can rent a motorhome from a private person

It's a marketplace where owners rent out their RVs, kind of like an airbnb for motorhomes only.
We recommend choosing options with good reviews.
Here you can find older and therefore cheaper motorhome options.

In this case, you will need to register on the site yourself, select a motorhome and contact the owners. Be sure to indicate that you are going to Burning Man and carefully read the rental conditions, what is included in the price, and what comes for an additional fee.

There is a big BUT!
Private guests can cancel their reservation. The reasons can be different: plans changed, the RV broke down, you just changed your mind, etc. If you book with a private owner, have a backup option just in case.

Popular questions

BEFORE
Burning Man takes place in the desert, where in dust we trust. This means that everything in the playa area will be covered in dust, including you and your RV. In addition to dust, the weather conditions on  the beach are quite radical; during the day the air temperature can rise to  37, and  at night drop to  10 degrees. In addition, storms, wind, lightning, rain, dust storms often occur. To protect you and the RV you need to prepare your RV and follow some rules.

Rental companies DO NOT provide services to prepare motorhomes for Burning Man, you need to do this yourself. You must return the motorhome to the rental company clean and free of dust. Otherwise, you will be charged the cost of cleaning (the amount can range from $ 1000 to $ 2000)
Preparing the RV
This must be done before  entering  playa.

The general rule is to seal all the cracks where dust can get in.

Window
Seal the joints and cracks along the contour with blue masking tape on the outside and inside. (if the links don't  open, use a VPN).
You can cover the windows with aluminum foil to prevent the inside of your RV from overheating during the day. Close and  protect mosquito nets from  dust (it is very difficult to remove dust and  dirt from them).

Floors
You can cover the floors with thick brown paper and secure with blue masking tape.

Furniture
Use old sheets and blankets to cover dinette seats/sofas/beds to prevent dust from getting on the upholstery.
DURING
Keep windows and roof vents closed ALWAYS and only open the front door to enter and exit the motorhome. Otherwise, everything inside is guaranteed to be covered with a layer of dust.

It's better to take off your shoes on   the street, and   sometimes even undress, in   the case if you   are caught in a   dust storm.
At  the entrance to it is ideal to throw a fluffy rug that will absorb some of the dust.

Never  open or  use the sun awning (it breaks from  sudden gusts of wind, the fabric is almost impossible to clean from  dust)! Wrap the ends of the rolled tent with shrink film to prevent dust from getting inside.

Keep all external compartment doors closed.

DO NOT run a generator or car engine during a dust storm. This can clog the air filter and  disable the generator or damage the engine!

Use the air conditioner only when necessary, as it is also susceptible to clogging with dust.

When sealing the cracks, do not accidentally seal the grille of the refrigerator radiator, otherwise it will turn off due to overheating of the radiator.
AFTER / cleaning
DIY cleaning
The first step is to collect as much dust as possible with DRY towels, rags or microfiber.
Playa dust has an alkaline base and is different from ordinary road dirt. Add vinegar to the water (the proportions depend on the concentration), this will effectively clean the surfaces. Otherwise, ordinary water will simply smear the dust and  turn it into  dirt.

At wash
You can stop by a  self-service car wash and   wash the motorhome there, this will significantly simplify the task with  the necessary tools.
A full service for cleaning a motorhome will cost from $ 700. In  nearby cities you need to sign up for car washes in advance.

You can read more about RV preparation and cleaning here:
https://www.trippingly.net/burning-man-articles/preparing-an-rv-for-burning-man-rv-cleanup-after-burning-man
Where to replenish and drain water?
Fill your tank full of clean water before racing  Burning Man. Use water VERY sparingly.
The average tank volume for clean water is 150 l (Class C) and 180 l (Class A buses).
It's quite possible to hold out with  this reserve throughout Burning Man.
But if you really need it, then the so-called "bees" ply along these are machines that, for a separate fee, will take your wastewater and fill the tank with clean water . In 2022 the cost of such a service was in the area $ 150
Where can I get electricity?
There is no electricity in the desert, there is nothing there at all, the Berners bring all the benefits of civilization with them. Therefore, connecting motorhomes to the network will not work. However, the house on wheels is completely autonomous and has a built-in gasoline electricity generator.
There is also a separate battery for the living part of the motorhome, thanks to which you can charge gadgets and use lighting. The refrigerator runs on gas, as does the stove.
The air conditioner and  microwave oven operate on  play only from  the generator is running. However, we  recommend limiting the use of the generator and  air conditioner as they may become clogged with dust.
Can I use a generator at Burning Man?
Yes, provided that the noise from the generator does not disturb your neighbors. It is important to remember that Burning Man encourages environmental responsibility, so you should still limit your use of a generator.
Is there a connection and internet?
Black Rock Desert, where Burning Man takes place, is a remote and isolated desert area. As a result, the availability and quality of cellular service in the area may be limited.

Carriers that provide coverage in Black Rock Desert include:

Verizon has the best coverage in this region

AT&T also provides coverage in Black Rock Desert, but it is less than Verizon.
Berners note the ability to receive calls, SMS, as well as the temporary availability of 3g with these operators.

T-Mobile service may be spotty or unavailable in some areas of Black Rock Desert.

Active use of networks during Burning Man may lead to network congestion and reduced connection quality.
Will the Wi-Fi router offered by the rental company work?
Depending on the operator (see point above).
Where can I get bikes for BM?
RV rental companies do NOT offer bicycles for rent. From some you can only rent mounts for them. You can rent a bicycle at specialized rentals or buy it. Be sure to take wheel repair kits with you.
Can I bring an ATV or petrol moped/motorcycle?
No. You can only move around  bicycles and  electric vehicles.
