We drove to Elkhart, Indiana to visit the RV/MH Hall of Fame. It is a Harvest Host so we can camp here free.
The museum has a fabulous collection of vintage RV's and RV memorabilia.
We are now in Indiana, still lots of corn fields. I found this funky fruit while out walking. With the turtle shells the sign says At the end of the day they retreat to the comforts and confines of hard protective shell. Sound inviting?? A 1916 telescoping apartment.
A couple of vintage interiors. 1954 Holiday rambler trailer and 1968 carriage travel trailer.
A bathroom with a bath tub and shower. The inside of Charles Lindberg's 1939 trailer-the kitchen not the bathroom.
1988 Star Streak II. It was built to fit in a regular garage. And the inside of the 1931 Mae West House car. It is not meant to be a camper, but it was used to transport Mae West from her home or hotel to the shooting locations.
1954 Spartan imperial mansion 8 x 42 foot mobile home. It was considered the finest mobile homes available in the late 40's and 50's. It was built from surplus airplane parts after WWII. And a 1937 Hunt housecar.
1967 Winnebago motor home is the first popular assembly line built motorhome and was priced around $5000. And a 1928 Pierce Arrow Fleet Housecar. It an example of a high end house car in the 1920's.
RV/MH Hall of Fame. Elkhart is the RV capital of the World. Bounder ad from 1985 and 1957 Serro Scotty 10 foot tear drop trailer. The tear drop is being revived by some present day manufacturers because they are towable behind a car.
