Series 1, Episode 2

The motorhome breaks down and Max and Paddy entrust it to a dodgy mechanic while they are left stranded and homeless for the night.

Further details

Paddy's dream of becoming the next Ron Jeremy doesn't go according to plan; in fact you could say he hits a bump in the road. And that's not the only set-back. After the motorhome blows a gasket, Max and Paddy are relieved to coincidentally run into mechanic Mick Bustin. However, in the meantime, the pair are forced to spend the night in the depths of 'Middlewood', tackling the forces of nature and bonding by the bonfire. After some revelations by Max about his long-lost love and a restless sleep covered in nettle rash, it's back on the open road. Max and Paddy are in for a nasty shock though when Mick Bustin has a revelation of his own; he's a cowboy mechanic charging an extortionate amount to release the vehicle, backed up by a couple of gunslingers (Les and Dennis) to intimidate anyone with ideas of non-payment. But the boys have other ideas and come together like Magnet and Steel.
