Hey gang, I've just had a friend..........now an even bigger friend:-), buy
a motorhome. We are going to be driving it to Oshkosh. I've tent camped in
Camp Scholler but my question is, is this the place to RV camp at Oshkosh?
Thanks,

After receiving comments from Ed, Rick, Charlie and others, I moved my
Lightspeed ignition control box to behind the firewall. I think the idea of
mounting it on the outside skin which would serve as a heat sink is
excellent, but I didn't go that far - just put it in the forward luggage
compartment of my RV-8A. This is much better than where I had it, and not
as difficult as I had expected. Thanks, guys.
But now I decided to put my two GPS antennas in front of the firewall. I
intend to run the coax through the same firewall penetration as the coax
between the Lightspeed box and the ignition coils. Is this going to cause
any problems with the GPS?

Terry,
You might want to check with Klaus about that Lightspeed box, firewall
forward. I'm pretty sure he still recommends them aft. Ours, an early
Plasma
I unit, requires air from a cooling fan and makes quite a bit of its own
heat. He recommended that we have him check it out because a transformer
tended to overheat on the early ones. He replaced ours (with the type he's
using nowadays) and returned our old transformer to us. It was kinda
blackened and didn't look too good. This was with just short of 700 hours.
We put in a bigger avionics fan and enlarged the air vent to keep it
cooler.
YMMV
Pax,
Ed Holyoke

I've camped in Scholler many times with my 5th wheel RV. As you know there
are no hookups but there are specific areas for pets, and for 24 hour
generator use. Avoid parking in any of the slight depressions. If it rains
you may be in a shallow lake. Although there is limited shuttle service many
people takes bikes because of the long walk from remote parts of Scholler to
the entrances.
