About Nittany RV

Nittany RV specializes in providing “Turnkey Tailgate Weekends” for Penn State home football games. We focus on the details so you can focus on having a memorable experience with family and friends and a hassle free visit to Happy Valley.

We deliver a clean, fully serviced RV to the Grange Park, Penn State’s Satellite RV Lot, for you to occupy starting Friday at noon so you can instantly start enjoying your football weekend. It’s like having a vacation home in Happy Valley.

Your RV is parked and professionally set-up in a great tailgate spot ready for you to enjoy the second you arrive. Each rental includes clean bedding & bath towels, kitchen appliances/utensils, a large awning, outdoor chairs for the rated sleeping capacity, a table-top grill and fuel, a large outdoor carpet, and an outdoor table.

All you have to do is show up with your personal belongings, food, and beverages, and get your tailgate on! You can leave the driving, cleaning, and parking to us!

History

Established in 2005.

We love the tradition and pageantry that surrounds Penn State home football weekends – especially the tailgating experience in an RV. We started with the idea that RV owners who drove their RV to every home football game would find it more convenient (and a lot less expensive) if they brought their RV at the beginning of the season and left it in Happy Valley. We would handle the parking, cleaning, and servicing between games.

We quickly discovered other customers wanted to share the home football tailgating experience with family and friends but didn’t own an RV, weren’t experienced operating an RV or didn’t want the hassle of renting, stocking, servicing, set-up, cleaning and driving to and from the stadium.

That’s when we decided to offer “Turnkey Tailgate Weekends™“. Our clients bring personal belongings, food, beverages, and spend the weekend in the surronded by other fans with all the comforts of home in a tailgate ready RV. They leave the driving, cleaning, stocking and parking to us.
