I would say if you have the space it would be neat to do. I'm assuming wherever you park has AC hookup? I don't RV so I don't know how social it is, but you could be like a johnny appleseed inviting others to come in and play pinball, maybe get others to do the same.
You don't say whether your RV is a travel trailer, 5th wheel, motorhome, or what. Depending on what your RV is, it may be more or less doable. I would think if it is a travel trailer you may have issues adding 250+ pounds in it when towing. You would probably want to place it directly over the axels when towing it in a travel trailer. A class C motorhome is probably not going to have enough cargo capacity available to add the weight, assuming you are carrying some amount of fresh water, propane, etc. A class A motorhome or a 5th wheel may have the available cargo capacity, but you are going to want to make sure it is strapped down very good for travel and, unless your RV is a toy hauler, it is unlikely to have good anchor points to tie down that kind of weight.
If you do it, report back so we can see what you did. I have thought about putting a machine in my RV, but I do not have slides and am very space challenged.
The biggest problem is height in most RVs, particularly of the slideouts. Toyhaulers would fit one in most cases. There's another short thread worth checking out on this subject started by Rommy some time back.
Quoted from pinbum:Cocktail Pins would be the better option.
This is a great idea. We're going to be getting an RV (class A) in the next few years and a cocktail pin/arcade would be functional too!
When I retire and get an RV, I'm thinking about getting one of those video pinball machines with hundreds of games loaded on it. No mechanical parts to bounce out of whack. Level probably isn't a problem. I know ... not the same, but I could have lots of pins built into one.
The first thing that came to my mind is now instead of leveling your pinball, First you have to Level your House before you play. Lol. If the house is a rockin, bring in some quarters! You'll definitely meet people fast with this plan. Unless their parked close by and searching for peace and solitude. Would be way cool to bring your toys along though!!

Husband: Honey if you want to sleep right, leveling this RV is a must do!
Wife: But you have been leveling it now for three hours.
Quoted from jasonpaulbauer:If you don't have a toy hauler I think it might be tough getting it in...
Thats a good point.....those doors are pretty narrow on the campers Ive seen
