This morning we toured the RV/MH Museum. What I expected would take an hour, took us 4 1/2 hours. We are not in a time crunch situation as we are 8 hours from our destination and we have 3 additional days to get there.
Besides this facility has a large Parking lot for free overnight RV parking, is close to the Indiana Turnpike, and a couple miles from a fuel station with Diesel. Perfect location for us.
They have a lot of vehicles beginning from the early 1900 up until the current day. I used to think that Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were pioneers using vehicles to go camping, but we discovered today that many others were custom building pull behind trailers and some early MotorHomes using Ford Trucks. Many of todays models are just updated versions of what was created by Entrepreneurs 50+ years ago. Of course the shag carpeting that was prevalent in the 70’s is gone. Much to my surprise the driver cockpit was an afterthought with some just having an unanchored piece of furniture in front of the steering wheel and others just with one large bench with no back support.
Attached are pictures of some of the RVs. Well worth the $10 entree fee.
