Unusual Rving

We spotted this unusual RV on our way to visit friends who camphost at Palm Canyon.  The "bus" turned RV has a dragon mural on the side.   Of course what makes it the most unusual is the VW bus that has been welded on the roof.  They wanted an observation area so they added more "bus" to the top.  The other thing about this rig that made us laugh is they actually tow a VW bus behind this bigger bus.  They use their smaller "tow vehicle" as their driving around town vehicle. 

They were camping out on the Palm Canyon road where you can dry camp for free for up to a week or so.  It is beautiful out there and very quiet.  You get beautiful mountain views but the road is a little rough and there are no facilities.  The nearest town is at least 25 miles away.  You are out in the desert surrounded by saguaro cactus, creosote bushes and many other prickly or scratchy things.   

Our friends camphost and live out here on Palm Canyon road.  They help the other campers and hikers that come out by answering questions, etc.  They have a big water tank and a generator but have to move their whole rig to town to dump the sewer about every 10 days.  No thanks, we like having full hookups - water, sewer and electric and we enjoy as much quiet where we are as they do way out in the boonies on Palm Canyon road.
