Where To Watch
Can you guess what decade these vintage camper ads are from?
Take a road trip down memory lane with these nostalgic vans, RVs and trailers.
Modern motorhomes may have amenities like TVs and microwaves but there’s nothing like the comfort of a classic Airstream or the style of a pop-top VW bus.
Starting in the 1950s, Americans put the new interstate highway system to good use exploring long stretches of the country by car and recreational vehicle companies soon caught up with the demand for houses on wheels.
Here are 12 vintage ads from the 1950s-1980s guaranteed to make you nostalgic for a cross-country road trip. Can you guess which decade each camper is from?

I suck 8/12 😂
3/12 At least I got 3 right 😊
7/10 ooops
11/12 missed that Airstream 5th wheel.
Every once in a while I see the mother of all trailers...a Winnebago.
It's like a house on wheels.

Well, Winnebago Industries built "Wheel of Fortune's" "Wheel-Mobile". Big yellow job.
9/12 Cool campers!!
12/12 Wow that even surprised ME.
7/12
7/12. Not much of a camper fan.
Trust me on this one. It's better than sleeping in a tent.
Agreed. And I never even slept in a camper.
8 of 12 the 80s look like the 70s
I agree - and I got those wrong! Oh well, my family never went camping - ever; we would have hated it.
7 out of 12 isn't bad considering some were before I was born.
4/12 Yeah, I bombed this one. We always used a tent!
Nine out of twelve. Some trouble distinguishing between the 50s and 60s, but one of them looked more 70s than 80s.
10/12 Guessed wrong on Alpha & Omega.
a few of these don't know what they are talking about. trick questions, things that spanned 2 decades, etc.
8/12 Dis well until the 70's toward the end.
9 of 12. I did really well on the ads that showed RV's and vehicles, I'm sort of a car nut. The tow behind campers from the 50's and early 60's really didn't change too much over those years. The Airstreams always looked like Thermos bottles and the style from year to year is very similar, but the newer type tinted windows said 80's to me. Another fun quiz!
12/12.. # 2 lookalike in the drive...
2/12. Got the first one correct and it was pretty much downhill from there. With no brakes.
Saw #5 and knew THAT thing must be from the 80's. And I want one. Looks like something from a 1980's sci-fi flick.

I am going to comment even before I take this quiz, that I am probably not going to do well on this one. I will post my score after I see what the damage is.
