If the hotel won't let me stay, I want to sleep in a van by the river.

The word "Shanghai" under the password is still red.

The word "Shanghai" under the pass code is still red, and many friends who make a living on business around them are beginning to worry that hotels in other provinces and cities will not let them live.

If I can go back in time and live in a van by the river, that is the life I yearn for.

What about you? Is it okay? Sleep? Are you online? Yours Car,

But? What about you? Can't? Driving? Yours House.

In Europe and America, where automobile culture was civilized earlier, such a proverb is popular.

Americans at that time found that they could get rid of the restrictions of train schedules. As long as you don't mind leaving your comfortable home and enjoying a nap in the car.

Actually, they really don't care. They are very happy to explore beautiful mountains, rivers and morning dew from behind the wheels.

Since then, car camping culture has been scaled up in the course of history, just like the earlier train timetable, engraved with those glories worthy of cheering. We call it:

1908

Ray, Massachusetts? A.Faye modified a "land yacht" with a Ma Xisen station wagon, and four foldable berths were installed inside the yacht. At the same time, it is equipped with extra lighting batteries, spacious storage compartments, and a 14 foot canvas tent sewn on the hood.

Faye often drives this modified "land yacht" and meets friends to go hunting in the forests of Maine. When the light came on, they didn't hurry back, so they took a nap on this "yacht".

This may be the embryonic form of "car camping" since historical records.

1910-1921year

In the United States at that time, "car camping" gradually became a national fashion. Car owners often fold the front seats, or remove the rear seats and put them under the car to make room for the "sleeper".

Most of the "sleepers" are mail-order American National Railway Passenger Transport Company sleepers or Michelin car beds. When not in use, it can be folded and installed or hung above the front seat with a metal rod. Another hammock that can be hung on the windshield frame is also very popular.

At that time, the camping prototype that was sought after by everyone was Ford Model T. Thousands of Americans converted them into camping cars and traveled around the country on the newly restored road network. They call themselves "tin? Is it okay? Tourists "canned tourists.

Ford's Tin Lizzy was also a popular choice for outdoor exploration at that time.

Zagelmeyer, who mainly produces tent trailers, cooperates with Anheuser-Busch, a beer brewing company, to provide various modified parts for modular living quarters.

On the one hand, it meets the growing demand for refitting campers, and on the other hand, it offsets some of the effects brought by the later prohibition of alcohol.

As for those car owners who have temporary ideas and have no long-term modification plans, they will be replaced with special tents similar to the pickup truck loading area.

After several years of rapid germination and twenty years of spring and autumn, it has reached the period of personalized customization. That year was:

194 1 year

Carmaker Nash added a "sleeper" option to his car range and boasted that this option has the function of sleeping for 3 minutes.

It can make people lie flat in the car and convert the interior space into a bedroom. We don't know whether we can fall asleep in three minutes.

1949

Decades after the camping trailer stole the spotlight, car campers finally got a "fit" reward. Volkswagen van type? With the arrival of the campers, they gradually got rid of their trailer career.

This camper from Germany has a pop-up roof and was called a symbol of "non-mainstream" culture at that time. Today, the word "personality" may be more appropriate.

It not only left a footnote for camping culture, but also derived a mobile store. Some car owners drive their own type? Campers come to Yellowstone National Park and San Francisco seaside to make a living.

1973

Modified trucks began to occupy a place among car camping enthusiasts. Full-size domestic trucks have more room for modification. Of course, campers at that time were not satisfied with one bed and one bunk. They want more than just a meal and a vegetable.

Therefore, due to the increase of refitting space, the selectivity of amusement facilities is increasing, and there is a heart of comparison among refitters. This comparison actually gave birth to many different styles of customization. For example, paint the car body with a spray gun, decorate the car floor with a thick carpet and so on.

1979

Volkswagen introduced T3 model, which greatly enhanced the fun of camper. It has a synonym called "hippie camper".

This van covers a larger area. Although it is not as valuable as the early Volkswagen van with split windows, it has been used by thousands of adventurous car owners for a long time.

1994

Swedish national treasure pop band Roxette released the single "Sleeping?" Are you online? Mine? The car sleeps in my car. Once ranked 50th in American music charts and 7th in European bulletin board charts.

Some people regard this single as a metaphor, but we choose to regard it as a straightforward ode to "car camping culture". A Volkswagen van also appeared in the MV.

In the 1980s, comedian Chris? Farley works in a file called Saturday? At night? In the TV program "Live", he said half jokingly that he would live in a van by the river.

In fact, "sleeping in the car" has become a part of many stars' life journey from obscurity to fame and fortune.

In 2000' s, mobs redefined camping modified cars with modern technology, creating a brighter and more colorful form in history.

Many car owners even use these modified campers to replace the original living space, making the car a mobile home space, which is called "RV".

In the "RV", there are comfortable beds to ensure the space and quality of sleep. In some cases, this kind of mobile home is bigger than a small apartment in Tokyo.
