Camping Equipment Catalog, "Get Away from It All in Style, Comfort, Convenience," 1964
01
Artifact Overview
A new generation of self-propelled recreational vehicles emerged out of the booming vacation market of the 1950s and 1960s. Building upon the popularity of the Volkswagen van camper, first introduced in the United States in 1956, automobile manufacturers worked with recreational equipment companies to produce their own versions of van campers by the early 1960s.
