    Summary:

    Have you ever longed to voyage across country in a travel trailer? Camp under the stars? Barbecue your meals in the shadow of magnificent mountains? See the wonders of Canada? Fish wild northern waters? The Family Anderson rather did-some of them, anyway. But they all tried it.
    The result was a bona fide cockamamie odyssey for Andy, Dortha, Scott, Holly, and their marvelous menagerie -- from Washing­ton, D.C., where Colonel Anderson worked in the Pentagon, up the eastern seaboard, through Nova Scotia, all the way across Canada along the extraordinary new Trans­-Canada Highway, and then down through Las Vegas to Los Angeles. It begins with a hilarious trailer warming, and you won't stop laughing for over 5,000 miles!
    The trials and tribulations of this irresistible family will delight not only all camping buffs and armchair travelers but just about everyone who loves a zesty and terribly funny family tale like The Egg and I, or a warm and detailed travel account like Travels with Charley.
