Is there fuel available at the field? Leave tomorrow early AM and be there late. Lewis, guys from Northside RV should be dropping off the camper for me!

We're just basically bringing turbine oil and our fuel jugs and we'll fill up there. No use in hauling an extra 60 lbs of fuel up and down the WVa mountains...

Yes, there is Jet-A from a self-serve pump at the field and several places in Lebanon and Springfield sell K-1...

Can someone find me some info on staying there in a RV???
My first year of actually flying at JOK and Im looking at doing Sunday-Weds for some EDF flying.
First, can I get water there for the RV tank?
What if any electrical can be had for a RV?
Lewis, any tent space available that I could use till Weds, I am assuming that others wont be rolling in till then or Thursday????
Hangar space available with Carl and Bob's group from Cincy???......Both Bobs! Pannell and Belluomini.

Sam,
Can't speak officially, but here is what the camping thing has been. Water is available on a limited basis, as we all pull off of one tap. Lots of hoses and "Y" connectors, that you can fill up on, but not depend on full time. The electric is also limited, depends on what hanger you are parked next to and its accessability and power availability. We always bring a Gen and a long cord to set it out and away from others while it is running. Hopefully Lewis might have an update on the electric thing. Boli has traditionally been the RV-Miester. Adversity is standard stuff for Apollo 13 ( the affectionate name for my RV ), we find a way to get 'er there 'n back!!
Hanger space is usually first come and fills up as the week goes on in the main hanger that is closest to the flight line. There are other hangers and plenty of space, event though there are LOTS OF JETS!!

Thanks for the info guys! Being that I will be there at the least Mon-Wed, hangar space shouldn't be an issue then and I can setup my chargers without depending on a gen, whether the RV or my smaller one. Water then wont be a problem if I can fill to half and then wont need a Y connector. I think the other electric guys will be rolling in Monday or Tuesday evening so I would just give my space to them when I leave Weds.
If I can swing a spot for electric to the RV then all will be covered.
Who would be the RV go to guy when I get there Sunday or Monday?? Boli or someone with the airport, Lewis?????
