About Self-contained packing for Virginia Key
Run the numbers before you shop. One gallon per person per day across the five days from Thursday entry to Monday exodus is 10 gallons for two people, 20 for four, 30 for six, and that is drinking water before a single dish is washed. A Class C rental near Miami carries a fresh tank in the 30 to 45 gallon range, so a party of four is not comfortable, it is close. The tank that actually ends trips is grey, because every gallon you bring in has to go somewhere and there is no dump on the key. Love Burn is volunteer-run and not a vendor festival. Bring food, water, costumes, first aid, and a plan for grey and black water. Limited labeled cords may run small devices. They will not run rooftop A/C like a 50-amp pedestal. Generator manners are community manners. Pets are out except service animals. Consent is how you photograph art, costumes, and people. We mention that because an RV porch is still in the city. Dump and fill on the mainland. We will not invent dump-station names. Confirm the week you drive. Pumpouts can be pre-ordered after site numbers, around December.
