Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
We all know there really isn’t a shortage of unique and offbeat places in Indiana. We just so happen to be home to the largest Dr. Who museum in North America, for example, which isn’t something you find just anywhere. Well, today we’re going to look closer at another strange museum in the Hoosier State that you definitely won’t find just anywhere: the bizarre and yet extremely interesting RV museum is a must-do, even if RVs aren’t quite your cup of tea.
Despite popular belief, RV/MH does not stand for "Recreational Vehicle/ Motor Home;" it's actually for "Recreational Vehicle/Manufactured Housing."
This museum doesn't necessarily sound like it's going to be interesting, but trust us when we promise you that it totally is! Everyone from RV enthusiasts to outdoorsy folks to those who simply enjoy history are more than welcome, and each group of people always seems to find plenty to like here.
The museum is open every day with the exception of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
That leaves us with plenty of days to check out this museum firsthand - and then plenty of days to come right on back when the mood strikes us (and we're pretty sure it will).

Come check out some of the coolest retro, vintage, and designer RVs and rolling homes.
There are even several models that will probably blow your mind a little bit as soon as you realize just how long people have had the idea for a rolling hotel room with all the convenience of home inside.
Humans have always wanted to find ways to be comfortable while traveling, and, in fact, the idea for the RV isn't a new one. It's been a concept for a while, but we won't spoil anything else for you. Come check it out for yourself and get the whole story!
You'll wander through a wonderland of manufactured housing, traditional RVs, vintage Airstreams, Winnebagos, and so much more.
Whether you come on your own or you bring the family, we suspect you'll leave in the same way we did: wanting to take an RV into the middle of nowhere for a while.
