Area Code -- The area code for Reno is 775.
We have no personal experience with RV stuff, but here is a list of businesses for your perusal. Note that several companies have stopped renting to burners due to folks returning RVs with trash and without cleaning. The companies that we know do not rent to burners are not listed here. The casino RV parks are clearly oriented toward gamblers, but do generally offer access to all the amenities. The other parks seem split between asphalt lots downtown and scenic, family parks towards the edge of town.
All rental companies have additional deposits, cleaning fees, up-front payments etc. for Burning Man rentals. Reserve early in the year.
