You could rent a camper van and pretend to be comfy in a rolling shoebox…
Or you could roll up in Riggy Smalls: a 2017 Peterbilt 579 with a Coleman trailer mounted to the back, 500 gallons of water, a hot tub, Starlink internet, soft-serve ice machine, cotton candy machine, and an 85" TV hanging off the back like a mobile drive-in.
Your move.
Version Note – Photos are V1, You’ll Be Getting V2
The photos you see right now are of Riggy Smalls V1.
I’m currently upgrading and dialing everything in for Riggy Smalls V2, which is expected to be finished in early January.
Riggy Smalls V2 will include everything described in this listing, with updates, refinements, and small quality-of-life improvements.
As soon as V2 is complete, I’ll upload new photos so you can see the upgraded setup.
So if you’re booking for dates after Feburary, you’re booking Riggy Smalls V2 as described below.
Meet Riggy Smalls (V2)
This rig started life as a Peterbilt 579 sleeper, then got promoted to mobile party base:
Registered as an RV – no CDL required
Around 12 MPG (respectable for a rolling resort)
Overall length: about 25 feet – fits in most spots a camper van can
Coleman 13B trailer solidly mounted on the frame
Can tow basically anything you’re brave enough to hook up
Compact footprint, ridiculous feature list.
Stay Connected Anywhere – Starlink Onboard
Riggy Smalls V2 includes Starlink, so you can:
Work remote from the middle of nowhere
Stream movies and sports in HD
Game online at the campground
Keep kids (and adults) entertained when the weather doesn’t cooperate
You’re off-grid… but still online.
85" Outdoor Movie/Game Night
Mounted on the back is an 85-inch TV, turning your campsite into a mini theater:
Perfect for:
Movie nights under the stars
Game day watch parties
Hooking up a console for campground game night
Riggy Smalls = your own rolling drive-in.
Two Sleeping Zones (Truck + Trailer)
The sleeper and the trailer are separate, with an air gap between them:
Truck sleeper: Sleeps 3
Coleman trailer: Sleeps 5
Total: Up to 8 people in two distinct sleeping areas
Great for:
Early risers vs night owls
Adults in one area, kids in the other
People who like being together but also appreciate some space
500 Gallons of Water + Hot Tub
Most RVs: “Please take a 10-second shower.”
Riggy Smalls V2: “We brought 500 gallons. Relax.”
Includes a large inflatable hot tub
Real showers without rationing
Plenty of water for a full crew to bathe, cook, and soak
Real Toilet + Bidet
No flimsy plastic throne here:
Real household toilet
Bidet attachment – yes, in a Peterbilt
Once you’ve used it, campground bathhouses feel like a step back in time.
Dessert Mode: Soft Serve & Cotton Candy
Onboard sweet gear:
Soft-serve ice cream machine
Cotton candy machine
Instantly become:
The hero of the campground
Tailgate MVP
The person everyone “just stops by” to visit
I’ll show you how to run both so they make treats, not sugar concrete.
Why This Obliterates a Camper Van
Camper vans:
Feel like sleeping in a metal coffin
10-second “coffin showers” where you elbow every wall
Everyone packed into one tiny space and usually weak/no Wi-Fi
Riggy Smalls V2:
Only 25 feet long, so it fits almost anywhere a camper van can
But instead of shoebox vibes, you get a semi cab + full trailer
500 gallons of water, hot tub, real toilet + bidet
Two separate sleeping areas, Starlink, 85" outdoor TV, soft serve, cotton candy
This isn’t #vanlife. This is Riggy Smalls life.
Driving & Tow Power
Big, comfy Peterbilt cab with a commanding view
Short enough to be manageable for folks used to towing or driving larger vehicles
Built to tow boats, toy haulers, or extra trailers if needed
All the trucker cool, none of the CDL exam stress.
Perfect For:
Guys’ trips, hunting camp, or fishing HQ
Race weekends and tailgates
“Work from anywhere” trips (thanks, Starlink)
Family trips where you want space + entertainment on-site
Festivals where you want to be the unofficial main stage
What I’ll Walk You Through
Before you roll out in Riggy Smalls V2, I’ll give you a quick, simple orientation:
How to drive & park the rig
Hookups, power, and the 500-gallon water system
Setting up and using the hot tub
Running Starlink, the 85" TV, soft-serve, and cotton candy
Basic towing tips if you’re pulling extra toys
House Rules
No CDL needed, but you must be comfortable driving a large vehicle
No smoking inside
Pets considered – message me with details
No roof-to-hot-tub stunt jumps
Return it in solid shape – adventure dust is fine, disaster movie is not
