RV Services

If you’re driving an RV, you must submit your RV’s length and specifications: Submit RV Info

 

The following RV services and rentals are available to our camp members.

BLACK/GREY WATER PUMP SERVICE:

Opulent Temple works with a third-party vendor to schedule black/grey water pump service on the playa. Click the button above to purchase pumping.

* *Note: We are not responsible for RV servicing vendor, their schedule or thoroughness with schedule routes. Since this is Burning Man, there will be times where service schedules may not be met in a timely fashion, but we will do our best to advocate for the camp to get the service that is expected and paid for. Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.

FRESH WATER REFILL SERVICE:

For those of you in RV’s, you have the option to purchase water to re-fill your RV from our central bladder. This needs to be pre-purchased before BM. It’s $1.50 a gallon (which is what we pay). We’ll have a hose on a rolling cart that hooks into the main bladder tank, that can reach your RV.

You must handle your own refills. We do not do it for you, but one of our OT vets can show you how to do it yourself. (Ask the Day Lead to help you). It’s as easy as turning on the right faucets and standing there while the tank refills. Most RV’s have a 50 gallon tank. A proper quick playa shower should only use ~ 3 gallons so depending on the amount of showers in your RV, flushing, dish washing etc. you can try to calculate. 2 people in an RV doing quick showers daily + other use will likely need 1-2 refills in a week, with more people, naturally, you’ll need more.

To pre-purchase water for refills, click the button above. Buying more water on playa if you do not pre-purchase enough water won’t necessarily be impossible, but it will pose some challenges we prefer to not deal with. If they do happen, it will require cash. Questions?

Opulent Temple Burning Man 2013 – 11th Annual ‘White Party’

 

10:00PM – 2:00AM

Burning Man 2013

Black Rock City, Dancetronauts Bass Station @ The Control Tower

11th Annual Sacred Dance ‘White Party’ at Burning Man 2013

Although you’ve heard the Opulent Temple will not a have a camp at Burning Man this year, we WILL still have one big beautiful party. Wednesday night’s Sacred Dance ‘White Party’, naturally. Our signature event on the same night it’s always been, though this time we’re mobile! This year’s White Party at Burning Man will be hosted on the Dancetronauts’ Bass Station which will be parked at the new amazing Control Tower art piece described as “60′ of fully interactive madness.” Just look for the massive tower shooting off lasers and fire along with a sea of opulent burners dressed in their finest whites.

Opulent Temple residents and surely a special guest (or2), this will be a special variation of our favorite party of the week with the requisite requirements of big sound, fire, excellent music, beautiful people in creatively white get ups and that special vibe when it all comes together, but with the fun twist of being open playa at a monster art piece.

This will be an epic party not to be missed so don’t leave that white outfit at home!

Special thanks to our friends at the Dancetronauts and the Control Tower for hosting us.

Art car friends are most welcome… we’ll save you a spot! Let us know if you plan on pulling up to the front row.

Please join us in Sacred Dance.
