Looking for info on renting a trailer at OSH. Anyone have current insight.

BTW-I know this isn't camping under the wing of my new RV, but a friend wants to go, doesn't want to sleep on the ground and will foot the bill for the trailer.

Rented atrailer at OSH last year. Van Boxtel RV Rental in Green Bay.
They delivered it and set it up. I moved in. Perfect. Recommend also the Sleepy Hollow Farm Campground. In the middle of Camp Scholler and you can reserve spots with water and electricity.

Brian,

Did the same thing last year (Trailer in Sleepy Hollow). We used Event RV...another good outfit, that delivers and sets it up as well.

Great experience!

Cheers,
Bob

Would anyone care to disclose the cost?

My mother & dad pay about $1000.00 for the entire week rental from Van Boxtel plus campground fee about 250.00.

Hey Bob, you gonna be in Sleepy Hollow this year?

Larry,

The price varies by trailer size, and IIRC, I saw prices from about $1,000 to over $2,500 for the week. My Father-in-Law joined my sons and I, and I wanted to make it comfortable for him, so I rented a 30' trailer with AC for about $1750 for the full week. Could have housed several more than our 4 too. Site with hook-up added about $250 or so.

Many of the companies will prorate for less than the full week too.

Not the cheapest solution, but with air, and being a relatively short walk to the main gate, Sleepy Hollow and the rental trailer made it a very nice trip.

Marshall, I probably won't be in SH this year. I may do a T&G at OSH this year, but a 50th anniversary for the in-laws, a Navy Reserve retirement (mine), Raven formation flying and Pylon Racing Seminar are competing for summer/fall funds and time. Definitely want to do it again in 2012, and hang with you, Don Hall and the SH gang again!

Cheers,
Bob

We'll see you then, Bob.
You can't beat the convienence of SH. I've been staying there for the past 10 years, and look foreward to going back every year.
One of the things that sort of hit me was how, when we started going, the (young) girls at SH were......young. Now they're all grown up.
Sorry for the hijack.

We get a twenty something foot trailer from Appleton Camping no push outs or fancy stuff but has A/C everything else we need for about $1200 for a week. Availability is an issue, we book a year ahead.
Sleepy Hollow Farm is $45 a night for serviced site.

Van Boxtel is sold out, as is Event RV. I got calls into several others
