RV Hall of Fame’s on ‘Life Support’
The RV/MH Heritage Foundation Inc.’s Hall of Fame & Museum in Elkhart, Ind., a cornerstone and rallying point for the North American recreational vehicle industry, “is on life support and is close to having to permanently shut down,” according to an “angel” letter distributed this week by the foundation’s board of directors.

I hope they can pull of a financial rescue. The museum is really nice. Maybe they could borrow the CFO of Lazy Days.

We visited there last summer. All that history & antique RV's; it would be a shame if it closed.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

I wonder how many people go through Elkhart and can't find the museum? I went through there last year and didn't have an Internet connection. I had to ask 10 locals before I found one that could give me any kind of directions to find it. One of them was at a local RV park. A couple of them told me that it closed down (it actually moved to their large new building). Elkhart isn't doing the RV community any favors right now.
