Two families, two brand-new motorhomes, and an open highway leading to a changing world. In the late autumn of 2002, the Read and Frensky families stand at a turning point in their traveling histories. David and Jane Read have traded their beloved 1998 motorhome for a pristine, state-of-the-art 2002 Fleetwood Discovery 38D. Across the property, Oliver and Laverne Frensky have made their own giant leap into a Class A Itasca Suncruiser 37G. With their tow cars hitched and CB radios crackling to life, they embark on a joint caravan from Elmwood City to the wooded trails of Long Island’s Southaven County Park. But this is more than an ordinary road trip. Traveling through a meticulously detailed landscape of early-2000s Americana—tracked by the local news of regional AM radio stations and the comforting melodies of Jimmy Buffett—the two households find themselves navigating shifting family dynamics. With Arthur away at the academy, D.W. and Kate document the miles as their parents discover how seamlessly a moving vehicle can transform into a sanctuary for shared meals and old memories.
