You Get What You Pay For covers the general case of "things go wrong because you try to do something on the cheap instead of doing it right". I don't know if there are really enough vacation-specific cases to be a separate trope.

I'm just wondering if there's a trope for this: Common in sitcoms, the cast of main characters has a low-budget vacation where every possible thing goes wrong, usually due to the person who planned it making cheap (and stupid) decisions. I know there's a "vacation episode," but that's more general.
