Cadillac Touring Car with Camping Trailer, 1919
Add to SetSummary
The growth of automobile ownership and development of good roads in the 1910s and 20s drove many Americans to explore the country. Some auto tourists opted to stay in the comfort of local hotels and some liked "roughing" it in tents; others wanted something in-between. Camping trailers provided a home-like shelter for a stay in nature.
