Plot[]
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are in the forest for a camping trip. Mickey is ready to camp the old-fashioned way, but Donald arrives with a recreational vehicle, shocking Mickey. Goofy chooses the RV over Mickey's way.
Mickey decides to rough it out without them, but his activities are always being interrupted by Goofy and Donald's luxurious activities, and they cause Mickey to be constantly attacked by wild animals.
That night, Mickey is trying to sleep, but Donald is playing the electric guitar and Goofy is dancing. Finally losing his patience, a frustrated Mickey breaks into the RV's fuse box and turns off the electricity. An angry Donald catches him and shoves him, stating that he's ruining camping, Mickey tries to argue that the RV isn't camping, but Donald stubbornly shouts that it is before turning the electricity back on and cranking the power up to 11 before going back inside, even going as far as to call Mickey a hippie just to spite him. As Mickey groans at his camping trip being completely ruined, the vehicle suddenly goes berserk from all the extra power and comes to life. Donald and Goofy scream for help as it begins to drive off towards a canyon, so Mickey rides on a bear to rescue them. He breaks open the vehicle's ceiling and pulls out Goofy and Donald before the vehicle falls into the canyon and explodes.
Grateful for Mickey saving them, Donald and Goofy agree to camp Mickey's way from now on, but Mickey, not forgetting his earlier treatment, tells them that they can do whatever they want before hailing a cab to check into a hotel.

Trivia[]
- The episode's premise is an expansion of the scene from A Goofy Movie where Goofy and his son Max's old fashioned way of camping in the wilderness is threatened after Pete and his son P.J. show up in a state-of-the-art RV. In addition, the scene where Donald inadvertently destroys Mickey's tent when arriving in the RV is very reminiscent to how Pete inadvertently destroys Goofy's tent when arriving in the RV from the same film.
- Ironically in this episode, Goofy chooses the RV over camping the old-fashioned way, unlike in A Goofy Movie where it is the opposite.
- Goofy is revealed to be addicted to toast in this episode.
- Donald cranking the RV's power voltage all the way up to 11 is a direct reference to the amps that went up to 11 in the 1984 mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap.
- The episode is similar to the We Baby Bears episode, "Who Crashed the RV?".
