The RV/MH Hall of Fame has announced the opening of the Boots and Betty Ingram Hall featuring the world famous David Woodworth collection of pre-World War II antique RVs.

Woodworth, a Southern California RV collector amassed a collection of over 30 very early camping trailers and “housecars” over 25 years of searching the country.  “Boots Ingram” an Elkhart native and the founder of Teton Homes of Casper, Wyoming, funded the Hall of Fame’s acquisition  of the collection and the construction of a 25,000 square foot addition to the Hall of Fame museum for the display.  Over half of the entire collection has been restored and is now on display at the museum on Executive Parkway of County Road 17 on Elkhart’s far east side.

Included in the display are early tent campers including a model made in Indianapolis in 1916 thru 1918, a telescoping truck camper on a 1915 Ford Model T pick-up, and a very unique 1937 Hunt Housecar on a 37 Ford chassis.

The RV/MH Hall of Fame has honored over 300 pioneers and leaders of the RV and manufactured housing industry in the 36 years of its existence and has displayed historic models in its museum since 1995.  The new Hall of Fame and Museum along the I 80-90 Indiana Tool Road at 21565 Executive Parkway, Elkhart, was opened to the public in the summer of 2007.
