Well, somebody's going to have fun with this! (Not me -- I just think it's neat.) :D

It's a 1934 travel trailer made by the Covered Wagon Co. of Detroit.

I'm really intrigued by the repeated use of the linoleum, and of course the wood has aged to a beautiful color. There are more photos on the sale site. http://www.f40.com/inventorymanager.php ... &Id=613306

If you ever go to Dearborn, Michigan, go to the Henry Ford Museum. Not only will you see the presidential limousine , including the one Kennedy was shot in, but you will also see Ford's private camper that he used when he and best friends Edison and Harvey Firestone camped in during the 20s and 30s.

Great museum and worth several hours.

Cool...but the seamstress in me came out full blast when the stripes on the curtains didn't line up! Things like that just drive me absolutely crazy...it's one of my OCD's! :lol:
My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.

I was more bothered by the curtains hanging right over the gas stove! :shock:

Very cool rig tho! Love the linoleum colors!

Seems like it would belong here http://www.rvmhhalloffame.org/

Thanks for sharing.

Talk about a return on investment. New it was around $250 plus options, now they want $25,000. Either that or they are right and the dollar is now worth $0.02 of what a pre Gold Standard dollar was worth :shock:
