After lunch the Leith's and us headed out to Elkhart to visit the RV/MH Hall of Fame and museum. This is a fascinating place for not only RVer's but for anyone who enjoys history. There is a great display of antique RV's throughout the building. They have everything there from antique travel trailers to some of the very first motor homes. The units have been completely restored before being put on display. One fascinating unit was a 1931 Chevy Housecar that was used by Mae West. The studio's had this unit built for her to get her to come off the Vaudeville circuit to make movies. They used it to transport her from her home or hotel to the movie site. It has a back porch on it where she would sit in a rocking chair between takes.

Mae West rocking in a rocking chair? Sounds very out of character, doesn't it? Great car, though!
