It looks like we will be tent camping at RV10 headquarters sunday monday tuesday. There will be four of us (two fathers and sons). Anyone have room for a couple of two man tents for three nights? Also who is keeping the list of campers at RV10 headquarters?

I wasn’t planning to get things into high gear yet but the plan is to do things just like the past few years. I’ll post something later in May or early June when I’ve verified costs and am ready to start collecting money.
Most general questions are answered on the FAQs from last year on Tim’s website: http://www.myrv10.com/osh/Camping_FAQ.html
We (Gary, Tim and I) haven’t coordinated details yet but I expect that we’ll do about what we’ve done in the past. For those unfamiliar with how it works:
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>Gary and I (and Brenda and Susan) usually arrive Monday (or so) the week prior to OSH and locate an area where we can have a group of adjacent sites.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>The past few years this has been in the area of 55th and Lindbergh in Camp Scholler which is very close to the gates, showers, etc.
<![if !supportLists]>o <![endif]>Actual location will depend on what’s available when we get there.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>EAA requires that sites be paid for from when “staked out” until the end of the show. If you leave early unused nights are refunded.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>You must have an EAA membership with an expiration date later than Aug 2010 (Show ends 8/1/10)
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>People desiring a spot in the “RV-10 HQ” area send payment to me in advance.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>We stake out the sites and pay first thing Tuesday morning the week before AirVenture starts.
<![if !supportLists]>o <![endif]>Each person will have a site officially registered and tagged in their name
<![if !supportLists]>o <![endif]>At that point you have a site at OSH with your name on it
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>When you arrive at OSH simply call and we’ll meet you at the entrance with your registration package including car pass.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>Site size is nominally 20x30 (feet). In accordance with EAA’s rules, we can make the site larger if required for large motorhomes or trailer rigs.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>If you rent a camper from Fox Valley RV (or similar) you can provide us as POC and we’ll get them the location info
General notes:
There are usually a couple of “announced” large cookouts in the RV-10 HQ area. In addition to those camping in the group, it will be open to RV-10 builders, flyers, enthusiasts, vendors, etc. that feel like showing up. Attendance has exceeded 100 every time we’ve had one…
To fund the cookouts we simply put out a collection plate with the intent of simply covering costs. Because of generosity in the past we’ve again got a surplus from last year and will use part of that to pay for a common site for gathering. We usually can come up with several canopies for shade. If there are picnic tables to be found we’ll put some of them in that area also.
The area is very close to both the Theater in the Woods and FlyMarket gates and therefore easily accessible to those attending but not camping. Any afternoon/evening during the show you will find at least a few RV-10 types hanging around the camping area.
We get there early and don’t mind a little work for the common cause but it seems that every year a couple of situations always come up…
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>Invariably somebody that didn’t sign up for a site will call (or even show up) a few days after we’ve staked out the sites and want one. Sometimes they’ll get lucky and there will be something adjacent or close, sometimes not. We can only guarantee a site for those that have paid in advance and that we’ve specifically staked out sites for.
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>Any coordination for cost sharing, splitting a site for the week, sharing a site, etc. is between individuals. Tim has in the past posted a calendar on his website to facilitate this.
Let the countdown begin!
Bob
