Plot Overview
When his next-door neighbor Ned Flanders rolls up with a fancy new mobile home, Homer Simpson becomes jealous and decides he needs an RV of his own. However, given the dismal state of his credit rating, Homer has to settle for a used camper that's on its last legs. Undaunted, Homer rounds up the family and they set out for a camping trip; the Simpsons barely escape when the camper rolls over a cliff, and they find themselves forced to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Homer and Bart volunteer to find civilization and come back to rescue Marge and Lisa but a series of misadventures causes Homer to lose his clothing and he's soon captured by scientists convinced he's Bigfoot, while baby Maggie is adopted by a family of bears.
