Just a few blocks over from where you were there's a more "permanent" set of LAX RV'ers:
http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2...lot_ghetto.php. Not sure how they do it with a plane coming in for landing right over their head every couple minutes, or less.
I've been through the RV 'ghetto' many times - lot's of big RVs, some smaller ones, a couple of VWs, and even the rare Honda Element E-Camper (in the regular employee section) but never came across an SMB.
I'd definitely rather be out in the boonies than LAX, but hey, I'd rather be stuck somewhere like LAX with my SMB than sitting at the gate.
