Yul Lose Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 When I was a kid living in Nebraska my folks took my 3 siblings and I on many camping adventures. I remember many nights spent sleeping in the back of a Ford station wagon packed in like sardines. Later on it was an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Little Big Horn Battlefield, Mt. Rushmore and many more fantastic places.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Never saw one like that before. It looks roomy, and if not too complicated would still be handy today. If properly vented it could have electric lights, TV, radio, air conditioning, etc and even electric blankets or an electric water heater for those cold winter nights.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I saw one of these in a campground last year. I guess it would be good for camping in bear country. I'd have to be really careful and awake for that midnight trip to the bathroom.
