Many Americans love the idea of escaping their everyday lives and traveling the country in an RV. This isn’t a new notion — people have been enjoying the benefits of RV travel for more than 100 years. We paid a visit to the Recreational Vehicle / Motor Home Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, Indiana, and relished a trip to the past as we wandered through the surprisingly varied collection of RVs and travel trailers that date back to 1913. Those passing through Elkhart should definitely stop for a look around; in the meantime, take a quick break to appreciate highlights of an American pastime still going strong today.
