Jack Sisemore RV Museum in Amarillo, TX

Friday, October 23, 2015

After arriving at Amarillo, we set up and had lunch.  By that time it was already 3pm.  We decided to go to an RV Museum here in Amarillo.

The museum was as much fun as this sign looks.

This was our first view as we walked into the museum.  

This is a 1941 Westcraft Trailer with a very rare trolley roof.

 
This a view inside the Westcraft.  Westcraft produced top of the line trailers during the 1940s & 1950s.

This 1936 Alma is original and never was even restored.  It was stored in a barn.

Look at all the Harley's in such great condition.  There were many Harleys and Bultaco motorcycles throughout the museum.  

This 1948 Flxible Bus is the one used by the Gornike family in the Robin Williams movie "RV".

This is inside the Gornike family bus.  That is a fun movie.  We have watched it several times.

This is a 1975 FMC.  The interesting thing about FMCs is that FMC stands for Food Machinery Corporation.  The owner got into making many various items including military vehicles & motorhomes.

This 1953 Fleetwood is one of the first Fleetwood ever built. 

This 1955 Airstream has much of its original equipment including the original curtains and bedspread.

This 1975 Itasca is serial #1 making it the first Itasca ever built.  It was actually a prototype for the Itasca and only has 6000 miles on it.

This is a 1966 Kenskill.  It has a blue shower, stove and sink.

This is a 1976 Argosy Airstream.  It was reconditioned and repainted with red, white & blue stripes in honor of veterans.

This 1970 Avion pickup camper.  It is one of the last pickup campers ever made by the Avion Company.  

Interesting looking.  See more motorcycles?

Look!  We even found Superman's changing room.

This picture doesn't show very well, but instead of a dial, there are push buttons for the numbers.

Look at this wall mounted Snap-on tool chest.  There were not any tools in it though.

This is a 1946 Tear Drop Kit.  We've seen these same looking Tear Drop campers as we have travelled.

How many people remember these Koolair Air Conditioners?  In June of 1941 it was being sold for $12.85.

This trailer was modified to be a display case for various camping supplies in the lobby of the building.  The other side of the trailer looked the same.

It was a very interesting visit.  We were allowed to go inside all the campers.  It was lots of fun!  Glad we found this museum.
