Are these RVs now BFFs?

The other day we mentioned the RV that showed up on East Third Street ... in the general vicinity of where the Free Willie Nelson usually moors. The Free Willie had to park a block to the east...Trouble in Camperdise?

Well! As this photo sent by EV Grieve reader Creature shows, the two seem to be getting along just fine on Third Street east of First Avenue...

The Free Willie Nelson RV has become a familiar site on East Third Street near First Avenue...



Now, it appears to be getting some competition... I spotted this beaut the other day on the same block... (the Free Willie Nelson was parked east of First Avenue...)




Also, someone purporting to be the owner of the Free WIllie Nelson recently left me this note:

Thank you for your kind remarks about the Free Willie Nelson. Unlike every other vehicle parked in the streets of manhattan the Free Willie Nelson gives back to the community with a nice deck on the rear where people can sit and smoke, eat a snack, sit in the sun and watch the world go by, or chat. Often my friends come by and we sit inside and jam. It's worth noting the Free Willie Nelson is the same size as my apartment, there by doubling my living space. Unlike my apartment it costs about $800 per year to own and it transports up to sixteen people out to the Mermaid Parade, Floyd Bennett Field, Dead Horse Bay, Wood-stock or away from ground zero on that terrible day.

This summer we are talking about putting on a rooftop garden.

I know that not everyone is going to get it or like it but if you take a man in the street poll, except for the people who want the parking spot, most all really like it.

This is a ride for the nomadic spirit, the open road and a romantic time in our history when people weren't afraid to boldly just go.

For the record: Mark me down for getting it and liking it.

Everything that you've ever wanted to know about the "Free Willie" Nelson RV on Third Street (and no -- he's not inside...)

Last month, I did a post on the "Free Willie" Nelson RV that has been parked on Third Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue...




It continues to intrigue...thanks to the EV Grieve reader who pointed me to the FAQs the owner has posted on the side of the RV...



And commenter Eliza has been inside! "The walls are choc-filled with fascinating trinkets & is rather spacious. hooray for this whale!"

Soon to be on the road again

Spotted this past weekend on East Third Street at First Avenue.
