Airplane Camping Equipment List
Using UL (Ultra Lite) backpacking gear mostly bought at REI, we fit all this, plus clothes and food and keep under gross with full tanks in our RV-8. This list weighs 43 lbs. total, but to give you an idea of UL gear; the tent, bags and pads weigh 9 lbs. total. Some will say we spend too much on gear, but we are comfortable...
? 3-man tent
? Sleeping bag for 2
? 2 inflatable sleeping pads
? Extra down blanket
? 2-person hammock
? 2 camp chairs
? LED camp light
? Flashlight
? Camp stove and fuel
? Cooking and eating utensils for two
? Matches, fire starters
? First aid, bug repellent, sunscreen
? 2 inflatable float mattresses (could double as sleeping pads)
? Battery pack charger for phones
? Pocket camera
? Usual airplane emergency gear, first aid, small parts, tools, oil, cover, tie-down stakes, ropes and gust locks bag. (18lbs)
Then we add clothing, shoes and food. We pack a couple Mountain House freeze dried meals, coffee and some oatmeal packs to fill in the gaps between our group meals. Then all we do is boil water for these easy meals.
I do not recommend bringing pressurized canister type stoves in your plane. I have seen the valves fail while backpacking. It is one thing to have a failure while it is in your backpack at 8000' and an entirely different thing to have one pop off at 8000' in the back of your airplane.
My preference is a white gas stove that can be depressurized prior to flight.
Check out www.campmor.com for gear at a reasonable price.
This is probably the best backpacking stove I have ever used. Two reasons I like it so much is that not only does it have a wind ring around the burner but there are no hoses or parts to drop in the dirt and get clogged or lost. Also, once filled, it is comparable in weight, when compared to the full up weight of other backpack stoves. One other thing, it just works every time. I have used it above 14K feet and at temperatures below freezing when the canister stoves failed to work.
One last recommendation, bring a head light. They are very useful when visiting the port-a-jon in the middle of the night.
I can totally agree with you about the pressurized canisters, Is this the model you recommended?

I use a Wisperlite stove. It will burn avgas but the lead really clogs it up fast. I usually carry the fuel bottle full of mogas or coleman fuel but will use avgas in a pinch....

I will be going to AirVenture this July, my first time, in my RV9. So I am looking for gear that is light, easy to pack in a slider RV and in the case of the tent waterproof and wind resistant for Wisconsin in July.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
That one works but I have seen people leave the hose behind or drop it in the sand.
This is my preference, if you can still find one:
