The official synopsis according to IMDb is as follows:
"When Dillon's love life falls apart she returns to her grandfather's farm in Colorado, where she works with Jordan, a handsome hardware store owner, to restore a vintage 1960s travel trailer, and along the way, finds new love."
Author Melody Carlson has adapted her novel into a screenplay for the movie The Happy Camper and Brandon Clark has been brought on board to direct the film.
The overarching theme of the movie is finding love when we are not looking for it and it explores the importance of home and healing in our lives.
The protagonist Dillon puts aside her dismal professional and love life which seems to have hit a dead end, to assist her aging grandfather on the small Oregon farm that he owns and runs.
When Dillon gets there, she discovers that her eccentric mother has moved into the room that used to be hers once upon a time, forcing her to spend her nights sleeping on a collapsing sofa. It is then that her grandfather surprises her with an unusual present: his rusty old vintage camp trailer.
Delighted with the present, Dillion instantly comes up with the idea of putting it to use and she gets to work fixing the trailer and turning it into her new home. It is then that she meets Jordan, a handsome stranger who runs the neighborhood hardware store. As they make each other's acquaintances and get to talking, feelings start growing. Will Dillion finally find the love and home she was in search of?
