It's interesting that the article states, "later models may be all electric". Were solar panels and inverters available back then? 
Here's a link to an interesting article on the History of RVs

Love the kid just sitting on the dash...
Guessing an F5 truck suspension wouldn't support mom taking a snooze, fixing lunch on the stove and sis taking a shower...

Me, too! I wonder if the windshield is plate glass? It says it is a "picture window."
I wonder how we survived the 1950's...

If anyone wants to see some old Rv's and you're in the Elkhart area, the RV museum is worth the stop. I was there last week after touring Newmar.
