That's back when camping was really camping. Folks did that a lot and there weren't so many motels etc.
It looks like they had it pretty well figured out.
Thanks for posting that.

When did I do that?

Hmmm… stock rear end and stock emergency brakes. We’re so overly cautious on our Model T builds nowadays. Thanks for sharing a unique picture 😁
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people 🤪

This actually gives some ideas on how, if you wanted to reconstruct a T camperm it was built, how they got the most efficient use of space, and how, if one wanted to reproduce a vehicle like this, to make it happen...

When was the last time you wore a bow tie to go camping?
