A successful, yuppie couple decide to leave the rat race and take off on a soul searching journey 
across America.

==========

David and Linda Howard are successful yuppies from LA. When he gets a job disappointment, David 
convinces Linda that they should quit their jobs, liquidate their assets, and emulate the movie 
Easy Rider, spending the rest of their lives travelling around America...in a Winnebago! (This is 
a kind of large, luxurious mobile home which suits a 1980's yuppie more than the counterculture 
dropout approach of Easy Rider.) His idealized, unrealistic plans soon begin to go spectacularly 
wrong.
