I've decided to fly to Van Nats in Ohio. Two birds with one stone since I grew up there. How do I approach this? I'll be vanless due to it being a 5,000 mile round trip. Should I go every day? Should I find a van to go in from Ohio? Stay in a hotel? Bring assless chaps?

Reminder: Never been to something like this..

rent U-Haul van (20.00/day ) and go everyday ! Have a blast, meet LOTS of people, and PARTY YOUR AZZ OFF!


If you do this, buy a air mattress to sleep on inside van, buy a cooler to hold beer and A sandwich and all will be fine!

while there are quite a few vanners who do choose to drive there vans long distance to make the nationals.There are a few who FART=Fly And Rent Van.....
A good quality air mattress might be heavy to carry with you on a plane.Might be cheaper to just ship it back to your self.Every thing else is available at any Wal Mart.
What you don't have vanners are ALWAYS ready to lend a hand
These events are like a giant field party, rock concert, Mardi Gras,all rolled into one.

Catfish,Penny will not be happy if you lend out your chaps.....LOL.

I am planning on being there.You will see my Early cruising around.Stop me and say hello.......

..........Wookee


Its a "Van Thing"
A life style you have to LIVE to understand!

Yup, desperate times call for desperate measures!
Rent a van and stay on the grounds. I'm sure you could find everything ya need there. But you could always run out for something if need be.
I will be there, Just look for my van. We always have food and stuff going around our site.
