Found an interesting little video from 1937, about RV’ing. The statistics are amazing, if true. One million Americans RV’ed in the 30s? What really blew me away was that a week’s parking in a lot was $1, and electricity 25 cents! I can imagine how affordable gasoline was then, too.
John Steinbeck did something very similar, and wrote about about his exploits, Travels with Charley in Search of America.
Hattip RV Lifestyle Library for the video.
