your choice may be 'activity' based......
A group of three Texas RV's will be spending a week in the Kelowna, BC area in July. Anybody have experience with the Kelowna or Penticton airports regarding friendly FBO's, ramp fees and accessibility. We will be parked there for a week while we spend time in the area.

Boy, we make it sound like the Okanagan is a real hornets' nest eh??
all comments being very valid, you might narrow your choices by activity.
I think the south has the most wineries and golf courses per square kilometre in the world, and the north has more varied attractions, and a bit cooler temps.
The traffic can be heavy in the summer, although most of the valley is 4-laned, the towns are choke-points, so you may wish to hop from one to the other for the day by RV!
weather can be a bit Texaslike...with cool nites, but hazy days, with lots of Cu on the ridges, and possible thunderstorms in the late pm and evening. keep an eye on the forest fire situation, as it can make VFR lousy when half of the sage in Washington is ablaze!
the good news is, I think you can get from the border to Salmon arm VFR about 330 days a year.
If you Google the flying clubs, you'll get some good contacts to confirm and arrange overnite parking for your birds.
we can accommodate a 'couple' or two in our basement suite in West Kelowna, but are :35 from the Kelowna airport, and :50 from Penticton by road.
PM for more discussion if you like.
oh, and that saying that BC stands for 'bring Cash' is just a myth.
we take major credit cards as well!
