First 2 answers are easy...you may bring the rental van, no problem...the grounds open at noon on Monday, and all are welcome for the whole week. There is a huge car show in Columbus, Ohio right around then called Goodguys. It usually has over 3000 vehicles of all types, pre 1976. That show is about 80 miles west. Other than that, others on here, I am sure will share more information as time goes on. A must see just north of the Nationals is Rollie's Econobar and vanning collection.
Looking forward to meeting you!
