The world's oldest surviving RV, a 1914 Ford Model T Motor Caravan, will be up for auction in September.
It's based on a Ford Model T chassis, and inside is pine flooring, a wood-burning stove, and antiques.

In 1914, a caravan was commissioned. Today, it's the world's oldest known motorhome, and it's for sale.
