My daughter and I are traveling to the LA/So Cal area soon to visit family. Being "Car Crazy" like the TV show on Speed channel airs. I wanted to visit the Peterson Auto Museum in LA. I looked at their website www.peterson.org and found they have an exibit on the history of camping out of your vehicle, "From Autocamps To Airstreams" It sounds great.

Has anyone at this Forum in the LA area been to it yet and was it worth their time?

Any feedback would be apprecieated.

Thanks
Bernie

Well, we are back from our trip and we did go to the museum and we were blown away with the exibit. There were some very interesting units. Most certainly a true education that highlights American manufacturing at its greatest in a forgotten time in history. Really makes you appreciate our units today with their annemities and features. If your are remotely close to the LA area it IS a must see.

I think John McCain's original RV is on display there.
