Hello All on VAF!
I've been to Oshkosh AirVenture for the first time in 2012, and got hooked on building a RV-8 then....
In 2017, I plan to come back, and this time I (almost) convinced my 74 years old Dad to come along on this "Father and Son" adventure...We would come by car all the way from Montreal, QC, Canada, about 17 hours drive.
On my first experience at Oshkosh in 2012, I stayed on site and slept in my small camping tent, surrounded by a village of RV's on wheels. This time, I can't really do that with my "Old man". I check out renting a RV on wheels, but quickly realized I'd rather put all that money on building my RV with wings instead....Dad says he will not go to Oshkosh if he doesn't sleep in a hotel room.
I need an advice here from those regular at AirVenture. Would you know where would be the best affordable location around Oshkosh to stay for 4-5 days during AirVenture ? Would it be too late at this time of year to make a reservation ? All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Martin
