Imagine, driving from San Francisco to New York at a
top speed of 13 miles per hour, on mostly dirt roads, while working along the
way to fund the trip In 1916.
Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Robins left San Francisco on May 18, 1916,
in a camper built on a Ford chassis with a Ralston truck attachment. The affectionately named Adventurer weighed 5,000 pounds, was 14 feet long, 5.5 feet wide, and 5.5 feet tall and was outfitted with all the comforts of home, including running water, gas stove, toilet, gas and electric lights, portable bath, printing press, and a Victrola. The final price of the coach was $2,500.
