History of the RV 

Ever since the first Model T Ford rolled off the assembly line, people have been outfitting their cars and trucks with cooking and sleeping facilities. Henry Ford, and his buddies Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison, went on camping trips together, with Model Ts equipped for camping.

Who invented the RV? How did RVing become so popular? Take a look at some of these pages:
