Traveling to New Orleans to attend the Big Game in February 2013 will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all involved. One way to make the experience even more fun and memorable for a group of family and friends would be to make the journey in a Class B van. A Class B motorhome’s size makes it both compact enough to conveniently maneuver yet spacious enough to comfortably transport loved ones and accommodate guests for a massive tailgate party or a small gathering before the big game.
Class B motorhomes offer the maneuverability of a large van coupled with the convenience of a full sized recreational vehicle. Most newer model Class B motorhomes have a height of between nine and ten feet. The widths on newer models run between six and seven feet, and the lengths of the homes run between eighteen and twenty feet. Most class B motorhomes can sleep two to four people, so they are ideal for an immediate family’s trip to the The Big Game. Newer models have a freshwater capacity of between twenty-five and thirty gallons, a gray water capacity of up to twenty gallons, and a black water capacity of up to ten gallons. The interior packages of the newer class B motorhomes are customizable to individual needs. Most come with a spacious area for the driver with an interface similar to that of a standard Sport Utility Vehicle. Some even come with a convenient five-inch rearview camera to assist with backing and parking, a major convenience when considering the traffic and parking situations that will infiltrate New Orleans in February. Class B motorhomes can also come with hand-made cabinetry, couches, stoves, refrigerators, sinks, and high-definition televisions, a great option for watching the pre game coverage by the sports analysts.
The Big Game is scheduled for Sunday, February 3, 2013 and will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This will mark the tenth time New Orleans has hosted the The Big Game, the most of any city. However, this will be the first time New Orleans has hosted a The Big Game since the Superdome’s damage from 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and since its major renovations in 2011 including the selling of the naming rights to Mercedes-Benz and the addition of Champions Square, an outdoor, 121,000-square-foot plaza that is sure to be the site of much excitement come The Big Game weekend.
The festivities associated with the The Big Game are slated to begin on Tuesday, January 29 with the annual The Big Game media day. For only the second time in history, a limited number of spectator tickets were made available for the media event for the The Big Game where players, coaches, and performers associated with the game and halftime show are interviewed by the press. Unfortunately, however, there are no parking lots that are advertised as being available for motor homes for the media day event
Fortunately, there are activity options for Class B motorhomes in the New Orleans area. There is a KOA campground in the New Orleans area that offers several amenities including fishing options and several golf courses nearby. A secluded campground will offer great preparation for the exciting The Big Game weekend ahead.
Parking for Class B Motorhomes will be limited on The Big Game Sunday, with only three lots offering parking for recreational vehicles. Two of the lots are located five blocks away (north and east of the Superdome), and one is located four blocks north of the Superdome. The lot five blocks north costs $650, the one five blocks east costs $1125, and the one four blocks north costs $75. All three parking lots allow tailgating, a The Big Game tradition that will be made all the better with a Class B Motorhome.
I own a Class B RV—a Roadtrek 210. For two years I have roamed the country, Midwest and Deep South, with shorter trips into Ohio, New York, the Middle Atlantic states, and New England destinations. My Roadtrek 210 has taken me away from the “frozen north” into the “hospitable south” and provided weeks of extraordinary luxury.
The Roadtrek Class B Van is just what the doctor ordered. It’s built on a Chevy, gives me outstanding gas mileage, and provides all the necessary comforts of home on the road. Granted, it isn’t as spacious as a Class A diesel pusher, but that’s okay: I don’t need a Jacuzzi on the road, and my wife and I, now in retirement, have long since “graduated” our children to RVs of their own. And then that diesel gets all of six miles to the gallon, a major problem with what fuel sells for now.
It has heat; it has A/C. It’s got a sound system and cable provisions. It doesn’t have a luxurious bathroom, but it’s sufficient for our needs when other alternatives are not available. We have a spacious kitchen and serving area (so long as we’re not both standing there at the same time). And we can move around without having to bend.
We have the same king-sized bed we have at home. We’re just careful to raise the back bumper to elevate our bodies when sleeping. The captain’s chairs are comfortable to ride in and to swivel and play games. We’ve modified our 210 to remove one of the chairs and replace it with cabinets. When we travel, and because we don’t have children with us, we want as much closet space as we can get. There’s no overhead bunk space to waste and every possible cubic inch of space inside the RV is well-planned and fully-used.
The unit comes equipped with both 12V DC and 110V AC. It has an installed generator that runs the microwave and other electronics when we’re not connected at a campground. There’s enough water onboard for dishes and flushes; there’s enough propane to cook all the meals we need to. And a refrigerator that operates on 12V, 110V, and propane adds to the mix.
Outside, there’s a very large awning. It allows a table and chairs to be set and protects us from most of the rain and all of the sun. We have added screening for when the double-wing doors are open.
Where can we go? Anywhere. We do trips before the white stuff begins to fall. I could drive it in the snow, but why bother? We climb into it, point the nose south, and take on a new annual adventure. What can we do when we get there? That’s why I carry my laptop and put it on local websites for interesting places to visit and outstanding places to eat.
And the very best part of all? This Roadtrek Class B Van fits in a single parking space. We can overnight in a retailer’s parking lot. We can take it downtown to run errands. Even when we’re connected at a campground, we’re free to move back on the road and to a new adventure in mere minutes.
Dreams of having a mobile entertainment hot spot can be at the tips of your fingers. This is a possibility when turning a class b motorhome into a mobile entertainment hotspot. Conversion vans are wonderful for creating mobile hot spots. There several reasons why. The first is that there is a lot of room inside of this vehicle to hold the equipment necessary for entertainment. Secondly, the size is big enough to fit a lot of entertainment inside yet small enough to be mobile. This means that with a little bit of the imagination a true entertainment Mogul can convert a class b motorhome into the city’s best entertainment hotspot. This is a time when making money is very important to many families, having a class b motorhome is a wonderful money maker. There are several different types of entertainment options that a class b motorhome owner can use in order to turn their vehicle into cash in their pocket.
Mobile Internet Café and Study Groups
Having an internet cafe is very important for many reasons there are many individuals who do not have access to the internet in their homes. A mobile internet café would mean that the class b motorhome would have to have WI-if installed. A wonderful idea for the café is to host study groups or parties for colleges. High school, standardize test, and other study group parties would also be great uses for the café. Hosting internet cafe study groups are awesome money makers in cities with large college populations.
Karaoke Bars and Amateur Talent Nights Another option for a class b motorhome entertainment spot is a karaoke bar. This is an event that could create an outdoor club type atmosphere without the overhead. Filling the vehicle with audio equipment will attract customers passing by to take advantage of singing and dancing to their favorite song. Having snacks or drinks available will increase profits. Sponsoring talent nights can give customers an alternative to visiting the same clubs and inspire visits by winning prizes. Who doesn’t like to watch local talent? Hosting birthday parties and other social parties can bring singing and dancing right to the doorstep of guests.
Mobile Movie Theater and Love Mobile
A movie theater is a wonderful idea for this type of vehicle. For individuals and who are interested in having a private romantic time. For customers, riding in the back of a class b motorhome while watching a movie can create those 1960’s drive in theater feeling. The greatest quality is that there is someone driving the customer around so they can sit back and enjoy themselves.
Gaming Competitions
In today’s world, everybody’s looking for that gaming partner. Hosting a gaming center is ideal for conversion vans. Having the inside draped in black will create a cozy effect to make the gamer feel like they are in the game. Hosting competitions along with game debuts will generate the profit that any mobile business needs.

Their motto is “All of our vehicles are driven to satisfaction.” That pretty well sums up the guarantee of Dave Arbogast and his time at Arbogast Conversion Vans in Troy, Ohio. Arbogast had dream in mind when he purchased the a car dealership there in 1992.
