Don't know what you think, but I'm convinced that the RV's from the period prior to the 1970's are worth saving (within reason), even some selected 1970's examples of RV's are semi-collectable.
I'm trying to gather together a picture collection of surviving RV's from those time periods and it's coming along very slowly, I realize that many of them still function fine and that their owners don't necessarily view them as collectable, but I wish some people would take the time to show them off sometimes.
I know that a wander through the Barrie Automotive Flea Market (back in my Ontario days) went by many of these older RV's that vendors owned, most of them were also very beat up...
I get the impression that people in England take much better care of their older RV's, and are far more active with RV meets. A classic RV combination at a show can be quite sharp looking, I've seen car show pictures of owners with a 1960's pickup sporting a period 1960's truck camper, nice looking units actually, also a nicely fixed up antique travel trailer behind a period car would look great at a car show but have never seen that yet.
Any classic RV collectors/owners out there in this crowd? Would love to see pictures of anything you come across and/or own... Another little piece of transportation history to research? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
