Jasin, I was enjoying your story until I came across the highlighted headline "Meet the man who invented light beer." What a mood-killer that was.

I agree with notanlines above. Reality is, the concept of RV travel goes back way before this. It started with the concept of the covered wagon being pulled by horses as settlers traveled across the North America Continent. In Europe Gypsie Wagons (click here) were the homes of that segment of society, which if you really look at what they did to those wagons, they were decked out pretty fancy.

Here's an article that's a little close to true reality: Click here.

Of course, as technology changed, the horse drawn wagon was replaced by the gasoline engine pulled automobile. Evolution only naturally followed that someone would put living quarters on 4 rubber wheels powered by gasoline too.

On that same web site, Click here for a different page. Scroll down, there is a summary called, "For the record." I'll not copy-paste it here since it's copywrited. It's worth the read if really interested in RV history.
