Time Capsule for RV's

Oct 18/16  Weather 74, low 51.  Showers threatened but never materialized. 
Lucky for us as we went out for a ride to a museum we had read about in many of the camping magazines.  The RV/Motorhome Hall of Fame and Museum. 

RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum in Elkhart, Indiana

Northern Indiana is a mecca for RV assembly plants and spin off suppliers so it is  fitting that there is a museum nearby to show the history.   There are about 60 units housed here from 1913 - 20's, 30's, 50's, 60's, 70's.  It is a walk back in time. Interesting to see some innovations still being used in flashy new RV's today .

The neat thing is that you are welcome to go inside almost every displayed camper or motorhome.  All in their original or restored state.

Before we get back we stopped for a bit of lunch and it turned out to be an all day breakfast place that made incredible stuffed french toast - Billy's favorite. 

stuffed french toast, and lots of whip cream

Do you know what is missing in the photo below,,,, of our coach parked in our campsite?  I will tell you - the slides are all in.   The pine needles are coming down like a snow storm, so instead of trying to clean out all the toppers we are not opening them.  Pretty site, the pine trees are super tall.

really tall pines surround us - look at the ground, it is a carpet of pine needles

Our campground for these couple of days is KOA Southbend/Elkhart.  We have a day off  in between appointments between Elkhart Sales & Service and Cummins Crosspoint.
