I plan on flying to Sun-n-Fun and while doing my flight planning I have
a few questions. The two different altitudes listed for the Lake Parker
arrival, the lowest one is for aircraft that fly 100 knots 115 mph, the
higher one is for aircraft that fly 150 knots 170 mph. Which one do you
guys use? Do you find that the lower one has planes that are flying too
slow for an RV or do you find that the higher one has planes that are
faster than an RV?

I cruise right now at about 150-160 mph, don't have all my pants on yet.

Have you ever parked in Homebuilt camping? My RV is not painted and not
ready to be sitting beside the prize winners yet, I'm thinking I'd
rather just came with my plane.

The 100 kts and lower altitude works fine for RV's. The controllers try to give you a little spacing as you enter the Lake Parker arrival. Just practice flying around at 100 kts before coming to the show.

Plenty of unpainted RV's will be parked in the RV parking area near show center. With that being said it's hard to beat camping with your plane! I'm flying in but camping with friends in the main campground. Email me if you have any questions.

Suggest you fly the higher altitude pattern at SNF and keep your speed up if
the there are many planes in the pattern. My experience is that there can be
planes just too slow for comfortable/safe flying RVs at the lower/slower
pattern.

Recommend Homebuilt camping and don't worry about your unpainted RV. There
are always a few unpainted planes there. It is still a beautiful! You can
compete with the show stoppers next year after it has been painted.

Bobby, it doesn't matter what arrival you use at Sun-n-Fun, it you ain't got you pants on you are likely to encounter problems. Granted, there is a wide range of acceptable behavior (and unacceptable too, for that matter) in Florida these days, but I'm thinking the no pants thing may still be a problem.
