Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

RV Museum and Hall of Fame


We had a chance to stop into the RV Museum and Hall of Fame in Elkhart, IN on the way back east from SD. I highly recommend you stop in if you have a chance to see how far we have come and also how we still do the same things over the last 100 years!

Here is a link to pictures we took:

Enjoy,

Les

We'll be going in June. We went about four years ago, so it will be interesting to see if there are any changes.

Good pictures, Les.

From all that I've seen online, I have yet to find the oldie that I have been looking for.  When I was a kid, my folks finally bought what (I think) was called a Quick Camp.  It was basically like a cigar box on wheels with a split diagonally at each end.  When the top of the "box" was lifted up and over, it became the floor and the bottom of the "box" was the bed and stove area.  When opened up, then a canvas "tent-like" device was raised to enclose the camper.

If you, or anyone else ever have the chance to see one of those, I'd love to have any pictures that one could get.

Terry

Terry, last time I saw one was in '72, '73? My folks had one. I believe you could build the box from a kit and buy the tent part.
We moved up to a 18' Shasta from that...

My last sticks and bricks was down the street from some guy with a junk yard in the back acreage, which included vintage Airstreams, Silver Streaks and other post-war aircraft aluminum classics. It was sort of my inspiration, although I settled for a new fiberglass model. Those oldies are fabulous, but they needed time, money and space. Eventually someone bought up all the Airsteams at once.

Thank you so much for the photos. I have wanted to go there since I found out it existed. I grew up in that area but haven't been back since the 70's.

I watch a show on TV about that place but not the same as seeing it in person I bet.

We saw it two years ago as part of the Heartland Rally. Yes, it was interesting, but since we were with a group (on chartered buses) we pretty much had to stick to their schedule. Some day we'll be back there and spend a bit more time.
