Oshkosh
Hi
My first trip to the USA and Oshkosh this year.
Cannot wait and am mostly looking forward to seeing lots of completed RV12's standing there.
I will be looking at tips and options for the remainder of my build. I have completed the Emp and wings.
So my big question is how many 12's can one expect to see at Oshkosh?
Also some advice on what I should not miss out on would be appreciated.
regards
Reilly

Required for Oshkosh
-The best waking shoes you can find
-Sun Block
-A hat to keep the sun off your head
-A camera with the largest amount of storage you can find
-TIME...Enough of it so you can take it all in. Whatever you think it will be, it won't. It is more. Better. Amazing. Truly, a one of a kind experience.

Just realized where you are coming from, and that this is your first trip! Another thing that might be special would be a ticket to Van's banquet! It is a great chance to meet lots of the folks you see here, and enjoy a good meal. Try to buddy-up with someone for a half day or so, just to get the layout down. It is bigger than you can imagine! There are over 500 acres of campgrounds and 600 acres of display area. Also, if you can arrange it, camping is a good way to meet people.
