The story behind the title is interesting. It is from a poem that Milo Miller wrote to accept his nomination into the RV/MH Hall of Fame.
Miller, “the school teacher to an industry”, was a native of Mishawaka, Indiana. An out of work painter, he traveled from town to town during the Depression selling his homemade “Auto Top Rejeuvenator”. This tar and gasoline dressing would keep the canvas roofs of early automobiles waterproof. (Thank goodness for hard tops!).
To keep his family with him, Miller designed a house trailer to pull behind his own Model A. He built it in his backyard out of scap material, using Karo syrup to secure the canvas top. (Thanks again for technology.) It turned out that Miller’s house trailer sold better than his rejuvenator. Read on to see what happened.
