Default OSH camping/parking

I've spent 4years listening to ATCLive and monitored the EAA webcams while at work. This year, I flying in! So, I've read the NOTAMS, I watch all the "how to" videos, practiced my slow flight. Even some neck exercises to loosen up my bad C6-C7 problem to keep my head on a swivel. But one question I have:

Which sign do I hold up? HBC or HBP. I am camping but not next to my plane, we getting a travel trailer delivered and set up in camp scholler.

For you HBP, HBC is for camping with your airplane.

Jeff's team does a great job sorting out all the HBP parking area. The RVs will be together unless the area gets over run due to volume. The back end of the RV-10 area usally gets some other aircraft parked there after other areas fill up. Unfortuantely, there's no easy way to predict what ratio of vendor/model aircraft will be flying into OSH.

HBP will get 'er done. Everything gets sorted by type at the intersection and sent in the right direction. We put the -10s in their own area due to their size.

Default Question for Jeff or other ground crew

I'm flying in on Sunday with a friend, and we plan on camping. I have to leave on Monday, then return on Wednesday, but he is going to stay the whole time. To avoid having to haul stuff, the preference would be to in HBC, but how do I get back to the parking spot where the tent is, and will it be a problem to have a tent and no plane for 2 nights?

Thanks,
