Museum & Exhibits

Two Galleries. One American Story.

Walk through the full evolution of the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing industries — from Hollywood house cars and vintage trailers to the fully furnished homes of today.

RV Founders Hall

The heart of the museum — where the machines that put America on the road are preserved, restored, and celebrated.

Mae West's 1931 Chevrolet Housecar

A Hollywood original — the custom motor coach built for screen legend Mae West, and one of the earliest purpose-built house cars in America.

Vintage Trailers

Meticulously restored travel trailers that trace the birth of the open-road lifestyle, from streamlined canned-ham campers to pioneering family haulers.

1970s Travco Motorhome

The rounded fiberglass icon that defined a generation of touring — a landmark in the evolution of the modern motorhome.

1985 Bounder Prototype

The prototype that launched one of the best-selling motorhome lines in history and reshaped what families expected from life on the road.

Scoular Manufactured Housing Museum

A dedicated gallery tracing how factory-built homes transformed the way America lives.

Evolution of Manufactured Housing

Follow the story from the earliest mobile homes to today, and see how factory-built housing became a cornerstone of affordable American living.

Furnished Modern Cross-Mod Homes

Step inside fully furnished, move-in-ready cross-modular homes that showcase the craftsmanship, comfort, and design of contemporary manufactured housing.

Kids' Play Area

A hands-on space where younger visitors can explore and play while families take in the exhibits — designed to make heritage fun for every age.

Come See It in Person

Both galleries are housed under one roof at the RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum in Elkhart, Indiana — the heart of America's RV manufacturing community. Allow a couple of hours to take it all in, and ask about curator-led group tours.
