What Are the RV Site Dimensions at Stagecoach?

The standard RV sites at the Stagecoach resort measure 20 feet wide by 50 feet deep. That is the total footprint you have available for your vehicle, and you must stay within it for the entire weekend.

All RV sites are powered and support both 50-amp and 30-amp connections. Each site issues up to eight Resort Wristbands, with a maximum of eight attendees per RV site. Children aged 10 and under are not counted towards the limit. There are no ins and outs permitted once your vehicle is parked. When you leave, the site is considered forfeited.

Understanding these dimensions is the first step. The second is making sure the RV you choose actually fits inside them.

What Is the Maximum RV Length for Stagecoach?

The festival does not publish a hard maximum vehicle length for the main RV lots, including Lots 4B, 5, 7, 8, and 10, but the site footprint of 50 feet in depth is your practical ceiling. Your vehicle, including any extended components when parked, must fit within that space.

Here is how the El Monte RV fleet lines up against the 50-foot site depth:

• Class B Small: 20 to 22 feet, well within the site limit with room to spare
• Class C Small: 21 to 23 feet, comfortable fit, easy to position in any lot
• Class C Medium: 23 to 25 feet, still compact and straightforward to manoeuvre
• Class C Large: 27 to 29 feet, solid mid-size fit with ample space remaining
• Class C Family Sleeper: 30 to 32 feet, fits comfortably within the 50-foot depth
• Class A: 31 to 32 feet, the largest option in the fleet and still well within the site limit

Every El Monte RV class fits inside the 50-foot Stagecoach site depth with clearance to spare. The Class A, at up to 32 feet, is the longest available and leaves roughly 18 feet of remaining depth. Always verify the exact length of your specific unit at El Monte RV Rentals, as floor plans within a class can vary.

Do Slide-Outs Count Towards Your Site Space?

Yes, and this is one of the most commonly overlooked sizing considerations for first-time festival campers. When a slide-out is extended, it adds width to the vehicle, which matters when you are working within a 20-foot site width.

Most El Monte RV Class C motorhomes are around 96 inches wide, or 8 feet, excluding mirrors. Class A motorhomes are similar, though some models may be slightly wider. Most single slide configurations add between 12 and 24 inches to that width, so you are typically still well within the 20-foot site boundary, but the remaining margin will affect how much room you have for chairs, awning, and moving around your site.

A few things worth knowing before you park:

• Measure your RV's total deployed width with all slide-outs extended, not just the towed width
• The festival requires fire lanes and shared access lanes to remain unobstructed at all times
• Be mindful of emergency access lanes when positioning your awning and outdoor setup, and keep the space around your vehicle clear enough for easy passage

If your RV has a slide-out, Lot 8 and Lot 5 Reserved allow you to select your exact spot in advance via the spot chart, which can make parking and slide-out positioning easier to plan before you arrive.

If you are deciding between a Class A and a Class C, it is worth thinking beyond interior space. A Class C with a slide-out can actually be the more practical choice for a festival site. When everyone around you has their awning out and chairs set up, the slightly narrower footprint of a Class C gives your neighbours a little more room, and you a little more goodwill.

Choosing the Right RV Class for Stagecoach

Not all motorhomes are the same size, and the class you choose will directly affect how comfortably your group fits within the site. Here is how the El Monte RV fleet maps to Stagecoach camping:

Sleeping capacity shows the physical maximum. Bear in mind that maximum capacity does not always mean maximum comfort, particularly for a multi-day festival stay where you will be living in the vehicle around the clock.

For most Stagecoach groups of four to five people, a Class C Medium or Class C Large strikes the right balance between sleeping capacity and site manageability. The Class A offers the most spacious interior feel but at 31 to 32 feet is the longest vehicle in the fleet, so allow extra time when parking and positioning on arrival.

Towing to Stagecoach

El Monte RV permits towing with Class C and Class A motorhomes. Towing is not available with the Class B, so make sure you book accordingly.

A few key restrictions to know before you go:

• The towed object cannot weigh more than 1,500 pounds, and the combined length of motorhome and towed object cannot exceed 65 feet. Small utility trailers, motorcycle carriers, and single axle enclosed trailers no larger than 5 x 8 feet typically fall within both limits.
• A nightly towing fee applies. You will need to supply your own ball, mount, and plug adapter as these are not provided by El Monte RV.
• El Monte RV does not provide collision or liability coverage for any towed object or damage caused by it. Arrange your own coverage before you travel.

At the festival itself, towed vehicles cannot remain parked at your RV site. You will need to unhitch on arrival and move the towed object to the designated Tow Vehicle Parking lot, where no ins and outs are permitted for the remainder of the weekend. Utility trailers are not permitted anywhere on the festival grounds, so factor that into what you choose to bring.

For full towing conditions, visit El Monte RV Rentals before you book.

Power and Electrical Requirements

All Stagecoach RV sites are powered and support both 30-amp and 50-amp connections. El Monte RV Class B through Class C Family Sleeper models run on 30-amp hookups, while the Class A uses a 50-amp connection, so every rental in the fleet is compatible with site power.

You are responsible for having enough cord to reach the power source from your site. The festival recommends 50 to 75 feet of electrical cord, so check the length that comes with your rental and pick up an extension before you arrive if needed. Extension cords are available at the General Store in the Resort and at most RV supply retailers.

All El Monte RV motorhomes come with an auxiliary battery and factory-installed generator, giving you a backup power source if needed and keeping you independent of site power when you do not need it.

What to Bring: A Pre-Festival Checklist

Getting your RV stocked before you leave is much easier than trying to sort it out once you are on site. Here is what to have ready before you arrive:

Vehicle Basics

• Fresh water tank full, and black and grey tanks empty
• Functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide monitor confirmed
• Electrical cord extension if needed, and the correct power adapter for your hookup type, 30-amp or 50-amp

Campsite Setup

• Camping chairs and outdoor table, or add folding chairs through El Monte RV Travel Extras so you do not need to pack them yourselves
• Awning if your RV has one fitted
• Extension cords for devices inside the RV
• Glow sticks or string lights for evening use

Bedding and Everyday Essentials

• Bedding, towels, and tableware. If you would rather not pack these yourselves, the El Monte RV Personal Convenience Kit is a handy add-on that covers everything you need for sleeping and eating, bookable through Travel Extras when you reserve your rental
• Any personal toiletries and medication not included in the kit

Food and Drink

• Cooler and ice for perishables, with ice available on site from Friday
• Canned or boxed drinks, since glass bottles are not permitted in the Resort
• Basic cooking supplies if you plan to use your RV kitchen. If you have added the Personal Convenience Kit through Travel Extras, plates, a salad plate, silverware, and a coffee cup are already included
• Non-aerosol sunblock for the desert heat

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the site size limit which RV I can bring?

Not in practice. The standard site footprint is 20 feet wide by 50 feet deep, and every El Monte RV class fits comfortably within that depth. The more relevant consideration is width. When a slide-out is extended it adds to your vehicle's footprint, so measure your total deployed width before you arrive and make sure it fits within the 20-foot site boundary without obstructing shared access lanes or neighbouring sites.

Can I use the generator in my El Monte RV at Stagecoach?

Yes. Factory-installed generators are permitted at the festival, and every El Monte RV motorhome comes with one included. Portable generators are banned by the Indio Fire Department, so this is worth knowing if you were planning to bring your own. Generator use is unlimited and free with every El Monte RV rental, so you can run the AC through the afternoon heat, keep the fridge stocked, and charge everything you need without giving it a second thought.

Does my RV need a toilet to qualify for an RV site at Stagecoach?

Yes, your RV must have an installed, functional toilet to use an RV site. It must also include a tank system for holding water and a dedicated sleeping area. All El Monte RV motorhome classes include these features, so any vehicle from the fleet will meet this requirement.

Where to Pick Up Your El Monte RV for Stagecoach

Location matters for a festival trip. Stagecoach is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, and three El Monte RV California branches serve the route:

• San Bernardino: The closest branch to the festival, roughly 55 miles and about an hour from Indio. Picking up here means you avoid driving through Los Angeles and arrive at the Coachella Valley already on the approach. It is the most popular branch for Stagecoach, so it sells out the fastest. Book your specific class here as early as possible.
• Los Angeles: Approximately 125 miles from Indio and the largest regional depot. If San Bernardino no longer has the class you need, this branch carries the widest Class A and Class C inventory. The drawback is driving a large RV through LA traffic on a festival Friday, which can be demanding for less experienced drivers.
• San Diego: Around 130 miles from Indio and a practical option if you are flying into San Diego International. Note that the Pines to Palms highway, Hwy 74, on this route has steep grades and switchbacks, so it is better suited to confident RV drivers.

Check current availability across all branches at RV Rental Locations.

Planning Your Stagecoach RV Trip with El Monte RV
