Uh, not really.
Round trip from Elkhart, IN to Los Angeles, CA is ~4,224 miles. At 20 MPG (this is on the high side) that's ~211 gallons. 211 gallons at $3.89 is $821.
Since it's a ~34 hour drive on way, better add in a hotel. You'd be looking at ~$1,000 to get there and back. My last plane fare to Fresno, CA was $500 something.
Since CDA's new trailer is larger than my house and trialer combined he can be your new host family for 2012
