RV Hall of Fame

While in Elkhart, IN we visited the RV/MH Hall of Fame.

You know how when you go to a natural history museum they have a path for you to follow from cavemen to modern day? That's sort of what this was like but for RV's and it only covered about 100 years.

We were about the only ones there so we could take our time looking at everything, but that still took only about an hour.

Here are some pics.

1931 AA Ford Housecar. Beautifully restored wood. 

The driver and passenger seats from the 1931 Housecar. Ouch. And remember, the roads weren't all paved back then either. That would  not have been a comfy ride. 

Interior of the housecar. 

An early pop up camper. I liked the trundle bed that pulled out from the bumper. I wonder who slept there? It might actually be the best on a hot night. 

A very tiny trailer. One of the first tear drop campers. 

"Why don't you come up and camp with me sometime?" Mae West had one of the first Hollywood

location trailers. Her driver sat up front, Mae in the second seat w/a desk. On the back, there was a balcony like the rear of a train car where she sat in a rocking chair between scenes.

An improvement over the wooden driver's seat, though I'm not sure 

either of them were actually fastened to the floor.
