The first year Frank Motor Company
produced a fiberglass body motor home with a Dodge
chassis underneath was 1963. It became know as the Dodge motor home.
That same motor
home would become the Travco Motor Home in 1965, due to Dodge's desire to create
other
chassis for other motor home companies. Due to the government's financial
assistance to
Chrysler (parent of Dodge) in 1979, Chrysler was forced, through the financial
agreement
covenants, to cease the motor home business. Being a vital component for
the Travco motor
home, Travcos could no longer be produced. The venture was abandoned and
Foretravel
purchased the remaining assets of the Travco Corporation. In celebration
of that first Dodge
motor home, what we all call the "pre-Travco," we have included this
US map from 1963.
