Today is the start of summer break. As the Louds indulge themselves in their hobbies, Rita suddenly arrives in an RV. She reveals that Jesse Hiller offered her a special assignment of going on a cross country tour of America for the newspaper's travel column. As the Louds check out the inside of the RV (while Lisa takes notes of improvements she and Lana can make), Rita shows them her travel itinerary. They go to different destinations during their journey.
