Oshkosh camping list? (Planning for next year)

What tent brands work at OSH and what brands should I avoid?

Peter,
I paid $24 for a 3-person dome tent on sale with free shipping from
amazon.com last fall

The only thing we did was to use the heavier duty tent stakes (which
came with our 7-person family tent) at Oskosh. It was very easy to
setup, take down and repack. It rained every night (quite heavily on
Tuesday - from the 'uncertain weather' storm cloud which you commented
on my Oshkosh pic links) while we were there but we stayed completely
dry.

Since it was our first time of using the tent, I did not know
whether the tent would hold up against potential strong winds and heavy
rain so I rolled up the sleeping bags and moved everything but the
thermarest sleeping pads inside the plane.while we were away during
the day time.

If you have a high-winged plane, you can pitch the tent under the
wing. I saw several people putting a tarp over the wing (tying it down
with some ropes and tent stakes) thus further rainproofing the tent
from both sides. This is something that we will definitely adopt in our
next camping trip this coming weekend at the Cardinal flyin at Mt
Washington Regional Airport (HIE), Whitefield, NH. Bruce Hutchings,
the airport manager had just emailed me telling us that we could either
camp with our plane in the field or in a nearby campsite.
