RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum - parts of the display
Click for a bigger picture
The RV/MH Heritage Foundation was formed on March 22, 1972 by a group of trade and consumer magazine publishers. The Foundation was charged with the responsibility of maintaining the national RV/MH Hall of Fame recognizing industry pioneers and leaders, and perpetuating the heritage of the industry by proving a repository for archives and memorabilia.

In early 2007, the foundation moved into its new facility at 21565 Executive Parkway in Elkhart. The 56,000 square foot brand new building houses the RV/MH Hall of Fame honoring industry leaders, a museum of vintage units from 1913 up to the 1970s, a Go RVing Hall showcasing the latest current models, an Exhibitors Hall where industry supply firms tell their company story, and the world's largest library of RV and manufactured housing related literature and photos.
 
Today, the Foundation maintains the national RV/MH Hall of Fame at its new headquarters in Elkhart, Indiana.

You can see details of Hall of Fame members and full details of opening hours, admission costs and location directions on their website at:

Re: Travel companionsArnoldToday is Feb 6, 2012. 61yr old divorced male seeking an attractive & intelligent female travelling companion and partner, who would like to share expenses and also a lovely adventure in my RV! They tell me I'm good looking (you can be the judge of that though!) and I know I’m kind, gentle & honest. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs...want to explore the US slowly...take lots of backroads and lots of photographs...presently in Southern AZ. Would want to talk by email/phone and then meet in person first to establish compatibility and mutual interests. Pets (small dog/cat) are welcome!
