We hired an RV in 2013 and had a couple of days on the salt. We just had the salt washed off when we left the salt and after a day or so on the road you would hardly know. I was happy driving on the salt and just made sure we stuck to the main routes you could see had been marked out. Didn't like the thought of parking at the Bend just due to comments about rain and getting stuck. I can't compare life without the RV but having the awning for shade and a nice cold fridge for drinks, and no walking to the Honey Buckets, it's the only way I'd do Speed Week. We hired RVs the last 2 years for Speed Week but due to cancellations went touring instead. We stayed on a car park near the Nugget, just over the road and down the hill. Didn't dump or fill water but was assured that this could be done at the KOA or the Nugget so wasn't worried.
