Bring your earplugs if you want some quiet in the evening.

    They are loud.....up until 11 or 12, I'm not sure. They must have a curfew because I've been staying there for 13 or 14 years, up in the little "cove" that's closest to Waukau<spelling> and it's never been a problem. When I go to bed (about 10) I hear them, but it seems like 11 or 12, they put a lid on it,totally. The noise isn't really that bad anyway. AND it's not a bad palce to eat supper and get a beer after all day on the airport. Matter of fact, it's really good.....and close.
    Sleepy Hollow also runs a free (tips accepted) shuttle to & from the gate. AND most of the drivers are GORGEOUS.

    They (SOS brothers) do have a "hard stop" in the evening. I've been there when they pulled the plug...

    Do you guys know which companies will deliver to Scholler?

    I thought they they only delivered to the private campgrounds ...

    Motorhome Camping at OSH

    Jim you are correct. They just told me that Sleep Hollow will reserve your spot after Jan 1 but Camp Scholler will start charging you for the requested spot the day you say you want it. I called Van Boxtel during OSH 2014 and booked the last Class A they had. Not cheap but it is better for my family. How is the wing coming?

    Scholler does charge a lower rate from opening day until a week or so before the show, but it is still money. I haven't tried Sleepy Hollow but they sound like a nice place. Good to hear that you have a motorhome reserved! I have friends from Chicago that were booked for a regular Class A that died on the way to their house and they ended up with a longer, larger, Freightliner based mega-rig! We gave them all kinds of grief about the size of that puppy, but they were definitely comfortable.

    The wing is doing well, they both are. Best part is I did get some tail INSTALLED before I left for my trip. Everything is hooked up and safetied, just needs to be rigged and inspected. Unfortunately I won't get much more done before the beginning of the year, domestic flying is crazy during peak on the A-300.
