ATLAS OBSCURA has a fun article and photos about RV Camping 100 years ago. Has anyone heard that the teardrop trailer was affectionately called a “canned ham”? LOL! Enjoy...

  @LisaTucson I got a kick out of the final picture in the article that called a popup tent camper a "fifth wheel" camper! Someone put the wrong picture in! Interesting article.

  @Deb55, @LisaTucson, noticed that flub too. Hardly meets the 5th wheel criteria, especially when we've been wedged between 2 huge ones at a campground. The monsters dwarf us in our t@b!
