Default KOH Trip - have spare room in the RV!

So i just booked flights, rental 4dr tacoma to get around, and rented an RV to go to KOH this year. was going to be 4 guys, now it's 2, so i got a smaller RV but there is still a 3rd bed available if you wanted to split costs with us.

Tuesday Feb 5 --> Saturday Feb 9th
RV+Taco is ~$1300 ... split 2 or 3 ways
my round trip flight was $284 into LAX (must land before 11:30am on the 5th, and must depart after 12:30pm on the 9th)
plus gas/food/swag (huge walmart trip after picking up the RV to stock up)

Dude...if I wasn't headed to Hawaii the week after I'd seriously hit that up, it's on the bucket list!

LOL....the fact that I have the vacation I do and go where I go annually, lame might not be the best way to describe it, but OK

I need more vacation time. Between ejs(hopefully for a few days) ua003, a dance competition In Wisconsin and maybe going to montana next year I'm tapped out. That would be fun though.

You have a standing excuse for every trip...but this one seems more legit than some of those in the past

Is KoH something I can rock up to in my 4x4 Expedition which is stock other than a 2" lift and have some fun? It's not far from me. Never been. I think an air mattress would fit in the back just fine, too.

Yes. Plenty of people make it back there with FWD vans and rental cars. The fact that yours is slightly lifted and 4WD should negate the fact that you won't be driving it like a rental.

Was Hornicator your 3rd guy?

Have a fun trip! When I go, I want to make a whole week out of it if possible....would love to see the shootout and the UTV race as well as the main race stuff.

When a few of the guys from MTU went out for a bachelor party, Phil woke up under an RV, with no shoes, wallet, phone, etc. in the middle of the night. He had to find his way back to their camper van in that condition. I guess it was less than enjoyable

Well, my plans for this year fell through, rallied til the very last minute and they just couldn't get done.

That said, my plan is to take the full week next year and skip EJS. I was going to skip it this year for my summer trip but got it worked in there, so next year is the change up season, a year w/o the 20+ hour drive and a week of my not breaking anything

Have fun, post pix!
