MIMOSA VALLEY RV PARK
After Gatti’s massive RVs were made, RV expansion basically halted as it was now the 1940s, and it was war time, so trailers were needed for other uses during both World War I and World War II. The US military even purchased thousands of RVs called “Palace Expanados” to house newly enlisted men and their families. However, after the war was over, the “RV Craze” began again.
Howard Hughes, the movie producer, actually had 8 large RVs built that served as mobile dressing rooms, which began the modern idea to commercialize RVs. For the first time an RV was made for something other than camping or exploring, introducing the idea of using RVs for business and other commercial purposes.
