Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
Originally there were no motels or easy lodgings for the traveler as the automobile became a method for vacationing. Autocamping, traveling with car, tent, and portable, home-like furnishings for cooking and sleeping, became a very activity in the 1920s. The cars had tents that attached to it, and platforms that fit inside the car for sleeping.
