Keen to go. Want to stay on site. Don’t do tents.

Anyone ever rented an RV and stayed in the dedicated parking area?

I've always stayed off site - there are plenty of hotels/motels around central Florida, and driving in isn't a problem. Friends of mine who used to work there every year used to stay in their RV on site despite living just down the road and I occasionally went and had a beer with them in their RV.

I'm unsure whether to go next year, I'm thinking maybe Friedrichshafen this time (they're on at the same time usually!).

Good news! SnF early April. FH mid April so you can do both.

Ah. I'll look into it.

Hmm, 2 - 7th for Sun'n'fun, 10 – 13th for Friedrichshafen. Could be tricky. Normally I incorporate S'n'F into a fornight's holiday in Florida.

Spent 2 days there a few years ago, but stayed a fair distance off site in a self catered appartment - didn't feel left out but I guess there is some overnight banter?

It doesn't really have the Oshkosh vibe where there are loads of parties to attend in the evenings. Even Bendix King don't have a party at Sun'n'fun!

Even though I didn't actually stay on-site at Oshkosh, my evenings were taken up thus:

Kenny Loggins concert.
Traditional on-site restaurant meal with my friend Jay and all his friends.
Foreign visitors party.
Rob L's party.
My friend Jay's party.
Bendix King party.

The best you get at Sun'n'fun is the evening airshow.

Ya not really selling it, Paul

I'm not part of the marketing team!

I guess the Oshkosh experience also depends on who you know or run into.

Don't let it put you off Sun'n'fun, there's a good 2 or 3 days worth of stuff to see and do there. I usually spend 2 days there and that still doesn't give time to have a good wander around all the airside aeroplanes. It does give you a chance to have a wander round the warbirds, which usually includes some friends of mine in Bulldogs, Chipmunks and JPs! It's a Bulldog guy who drives the tractor pulling the warbirds around.

Just saying that I've never felt like I've been missing out by not staying on site.

Right oh. T'is all booked.

This time next week I'll be checked into the Bloc Hotel above Gatwick south terminal. My Norwegian Air Shuttle flight to MIA is Sunday 31st at 10.10 with a BST clock change thrown in to confusticate.

Bumping this up ^^^^^^^^^ to see if any Forumites have decided to attend. My bro and I have rented a ridiculously big Recreational Vehicle for the week and will be parked in the camp ground west of the main exhibition area.

We have -

an awning
a table
6 chairs, and
beer!

Stop by and say Howdy (that's a secret code word)

This time next week.......

I'll be there 2/3/4th as I'm fitting it around a business trip to Vegas starting on the 6th. Will keep an eye out for your RV!
