new to burning man

new to the thought of going to burning man, actually see that they have some mini burning man around the country, i think this would be cool to visit. my problem would be the better half i would just throw a sleeping bag a cooler and saltine crackers in the old van and go, she would need to go purchase a 5 th wheel or motorhome to go. i will continue to read the internet and figure a way to go... hopefully !
