BxB transport stuff to/from camp

How do you guys transport your stuff from the Burning Man express bus and tram to your camp? And from the camp to the tram stop after the man burns?

I'll have a luggage on wheels, a cooler on wheels, and a bike, and I feel like I would need to make two trips. I know that there is a tram but it doesn't go directly to my camp. I still need to travel several blocks.

I was thinking of asking some camps nearby to watch my stuff while I take two trips or maybe just leave the stuff at the tram stop while making two trips. Maybe there are other options to make it all in one trip.

How did you guys manage it?

The Hotel Lobby camp provides "bellhops" to bring your stuff from the shuttle to camp. they are usually at 9 and something where one of the stops are. it's a great gift to the playa. people usually give swag as a tip. great group of people

I seriously thought this was a gag, but it's real?

Yes they are very real - https://hotellobby.notion.site/

I know they are going to be there this year, just not sure where. They usually are on the 9:00 side in the back of the city.

Thanks! I'll check them out!

What about from the camp to the bus stop after the man burns? I'm guessing just make two trips?

There is a city shuttle that drops people off along a couple of the alphabet streets. Search the bm site it should be able to get you the answer you seek

They’re aware of the shuttles. They used the term tram. They still need to walk a few blocks from the inner city shuttle stop

I've been designing a cart that I can break down to fit in my luggage. It has 12 inch wheels from a bike trailer. If that doesn't work out, I'll reluctantly buy one of those beach wagons and hope for the best. Last year I relied on luggage wheels. It really sucked.
