At Least the Weather was Nice

I saw this on Swedish television in ca 1980, and thought it was a scream. I think that it has been once on American TV, and would like to see it again. A rough translation of the title would be "In any case, we had good luck with the weather." It was so long ago, that I can't recall all the gags, but I do remember these:

* The incident at the car-wash! Priceless! Interestingly filmed from inside the car, watching the Father being swept up and over the windscreen in the midst of all that soapy water. And the family's reaction, they all being inside the car, of dead silence.

* Spending the night camping at the dump, with thousands of seagulls whirling about. They headed for the seagulls, thinking it was the shore, and got locked in.

* Grandfather's bladder control problems.

The film appeared three years before -- and likely inspired -- Chevy Chase's /Vacation/.
