Hi All,
Our second rest day on this trip was in Elkhart, IN. Frequent sightings of horse drawn carriages reminded us we were in Amish country.
Elkhart is the epicenter of the trailer and RV industry. It is also the home of the RV Museum.
The oldest known RV; a 1913 Earl Trailer pulled by a Ford Model T.
A snug interior but a start.
Moving up to a Ford Model A, here is a 1931 Ford Housecar.
Larger interior with more amenities.
Crank-up tent trailers evolved in the post-war era. This 1955 Ranger is the first known RV with a "Slideout". Note also the mid-50's Ford tail lights.
Check out this 1931 Mae West Housecar.
"Come on up and see me some time".
Finally, this 1928 Pierce Arrow Housecar, one of only three built. Note the clerestory windows on the roof, like the roofline of a trolley
Getting closer to home.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
