MIMOSA VALLEY RV PARK
Dodge and Travco 60s to 70s
These motorhomes were popular RVs built on a Dodge chassis. When Dodge stopped manufacturing the chassis, Travco went under. The Travco motorhome sold for $9,000 and enjoyed the bulk of the budding motorhome market. These motorhomes were revolutionary in shape and construction, using fiberglass and eliminating dry rot.
They had fully equipped kitchens, and the interiors were well-made and practical. The cars featured a dinette, refrigerator, double sink, floor coverings, and large closets.
Winnebago
Founded in 1958, Winnebago began by designing furniture for travel trailers. The first Winnebago was made in 1966 and was sold at half the price of competing models, and the name soon became synonymous with motor homes.
