Mal’s bought an RV Park with plans for a booming family-run business, but it soon turns out that they are not going to be living the dream they hoped. Before they’ve even settled in, Mal discovers that the park is home to a group of eccentric residents who are not exactly thrilled to meet their new owners. Jen has to learn how to survive American suburbia and the kids have to navigate a US high school. With culture clashes aplenty, life in Britain soon seems even further away than they’d thought it would. But with the support of each other and their crazy new friends, they begin to learn how to live the American dream.
Having packed it all in for a life in the sun, things aren't quite going to plan for Mal, Jen and the kids. Mal's battling to keep the peace with burly park resident Troy and Tina and Freddie struggle to get to grips with life in an American high school. Meanwhile, Jen's in for an unexpected makeover when Rhonda invites her to a ladies' lunch.
The park's septic tank explodes and Mal and Jen are forced to turn to the only sewage expert around: Mayor Herman Bloch, the eccentric father of Tina's new boyfriend. Meanwhile, Freddie struggles to find his place at school, and Conan looks to take his and Tina's relationship to a whole new level... and it's not one Tina was expecting.
An attempted burglary triggers Mal to buy a gun in episode one, and that means going behind Jen's back. And there are some very dodgy brownies on offer when they are invited to their new nextdoor neighbours. As for the kids, Tina tries to find a way to dump boring boyfriend Conan without breaking his heart and Freddie worries his mum when he starts falling for the class bad girl.
It's the RV Park of The Year Awards, and Kissimmee Sunshine RV Park could win Best Park. Mal is certain that the judges are staying in the Park and everyone's a suspect. Meanwhile Herman's wife, Larissa, suggests to Jen that it might help the cause if she can bring her client, star golfer TJ, to the ceremony.
Mayor Herman Bloch is up for re-election and has made it his campaign promise to shut down RV Parks. Mal is furious and decides to get someone from the park to run against him for Mayor. He picks one of the residents and has to get them ready to fight Herman in the televised debate at the Park. The future of their RV Park depends on it....
