best way to watch the game from the infield, or trackside, isn't on top of an RV... it's on top of a converted airline catering truck with the scissor lift
Imagine a ladder to the roof... and an umbrella to shade your lounge chair, plus a cooler with liquid refreshments. That's treating your self right.
A pilot learned about these 20 year old Southwest Airlines catering trucks getting sold at Seattle's airport, and bought one, for 3300, he estimates that he spent between $30,000 and $35,000 on the build.
Mark Pankey is a former US Air Force pilot who grew up in Louisiana. After 20 years with the Air Force, he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2016 and got a job with Southwest Airlines as a commercial pilot, where he's been for the past seven years.

nice scissor lift! Thanks RLK!
The scene is at the only Miller Brewing plant in the nation at the time, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The two guys are icing up a reefer, no doubt to keep a cross country shipment of beer from spoiling. (Appears to be summer, as at least one guy is in short sleeves and the building windows are open. Notice the empty beer cases stacked inside.) The truck is a 1937 International. Although the scissors apparatus served this icing function well, it’s primary function was to facilitate residential coal delivery. Most houses at the time had a coal bin in the basement, accessible by a window to the outside. If the truck could get close enough, the deliveryman would attach a steel chute from the hopper to the window, trip a trap door in the hopper and let the product flow by gravity. If the truck could not be so arranged, the hopper would be raised and the coal dumped into canvas baskets. Those baskets would then be carried on the delivery guys shoulder and dumped into the basement...one at a time.

when you are going to have the best view from the infield, guaranteed
also prevents bears and critters from bothering you, as long as you slather some light grease on the scissor lift parts
