Gainsville.com features a story on gathering of the Tin Can Tourists, RV enthusiasts who travel in vintage RVs. Members of the Tin Can Tourists own RVs that have seen a lot of roadtime, some have been in use since the 1940s.
Long-time RVers have seen the industry go through cycles, from the low-points during the gas-crisis of the late 70s, to the current RV resurgence.
