Hay I resemble that remark, or do you mean the four wheel kind of RVer? :-)

My wife and I also did the minimalist camping thing at Oshkosh. Got a
nice camp site under the trees in Paul's Park, right near the
ablutions and camp store. Camping there was a pleasure.

Jerry,
I was referring of course to the hefty folks towing their 31'+
Recreational Vehicle (RV) bloat craft, loaded down with sausage, beer,
and leaky septic systems. Combined with screaming kids, they truly
scare me.

Rest assured, I have the greatest respect for RV (as in Richard
Vansgrunsven) aircraft craftman & flyers. That is unless you spill
your beer on me. ;-)

P.S. Love RV's, but I'm too lazy to buck rivets myself so I'm
considering a basic Zodiac CH-601XL, or maybe even some "Sport Plane"
concoction. Will sort it out when I get there.

Let us know your final decision. And why?

I don't know about the drunken part, but there is a designated area where
the motorhome crowd can run their APUs all night to keep themselves cool &
the satellite TV going, without asphyxiating us lowly tent campers. Not all
"motorhomers" [dangerous to call them RVers on this ng :)] park in their
area in my experience, but most people are there to have a good time - not
to irritate others, & are usually cooperative. I've never had a real
problem with neighbours in the either the aircraft camping area or Camp
Scholler & I've been going since the late 70s.

Shower rooms can be a bit of a hike from some parts of the campground.
There are portable toilets here and there as well. Here's a link to a map
of the campground

Don't worry - be happy. Just show up, pitch your tent & have some fun.
