Nothing beats Urban Camping

This group of three nicely sized MH, found a great Urban campsite in the SOHO district of NYC! Maybe called Lafayette Landing or something similar, the location was on Lafayette St. Just need to carry a few traffic cones so you can put out the slides and enjoy the sounds of the City!! Horns, traffic, 3 am garbage trucks, and fire trucks with train horns!! I didn't see any camp fires or lawn chairs! :B

    Here he is in front of Trump Towers earlir this year- note new Atwood 15k heat pumps.



    I don't think that's trump tower.
  • I had an Atwood 15,000btu air conditioner w/heat pump installed last year and absolutely love it. It is quieter than my previous Dometic and puts out more air. It does a great job cooling and heating our 30 foot travel trailer and is working quite well down in Florida right now in the high 80's temperatures. :)

    It was a fairly new item in the US last year when we purchased it.It didn't have much of a track record here so we were a bit nervous about purchasing it but really glad now that we did. :)

  • Not going to happen for the regular guy that is passing through NYC... They have some special permits.
  • 'Expendables Plus Inc' (left side of photo) is a Full Service Production Supply House for Film, Television Commercials, Music Videos and the Independent Film Industry.

    Surprised street is not blocked off and traffic diverted.

    I can't imagine any ordinary "Joe Shmuck" parking there like that. I bet they were part of a group, an entertainment group, a group of musicians, or actors doing a performance and were parked there while their performance was going on. Notice the vendor both with the canopy on the left of the photo. Probably a street side booth to sell their memorabilia.

    Went to a Kenny Rogers concert a couple years ago. Same situation... except the RV's (2 of them) were in the parking lot at the College auditorium where they were performing. And their booth with memorabilia was right inside the door of the auditorium.


    You pretty much hit the nail on the head, there was filming going in the area. Just interesting the three MH without the other equipment trailers and rigs. Have seen dressing room semis, and food service rig in the city before. This just appeared to tbe the three MH.
