But aside from the difficulties, the 
annoyances, the troubles of the house- 
cars one sees along the highways, it 
cannot be denied that the cabin-car is 
the ideal for the touring family, or the 
travelers by automobile. Perhaps a 
discussion of some of the house-car re¬ 
quirements and advantages will serve 
to help even in a sedan-camping outfit, 
or closed-car arrangements. No one, 
I think, has ever devised a perfect 
touring equipment. At least, I never 
saw such a happy accumulation. 
The automobile is first of all to fol¬ 
low the highways. The passengers, to 
travel with pleasure, must have com¬ 
fortable seats. In a touring car, loose 
seats would be thrown in all directions 
on rough highways. The seats must 
be practically what the touring cars 
now have. But these seats must be 
removable, to obtain house-car condi¬ 
tions of open floor space. If they are 
difficult to remove, it would be easier to 
put up a tent. Some cars, for sleep¬ 
ing purposes, are easily made over by 
lowering the backs of the front seats. 
Seats to fold out of the way, in the 
car, are therefore a modification. 
If there are more than two people, 
seats must be had back in the car. 
These may be folding, or otherwise re¬ 
movable. They must be comfortable, 
and windows for easy-seeing provided 
—otherwise, why travel? 
Beds must be provided. These can 
be designed to fold down like sleeping- 
car berths. They can be merely canvas 
hammocks. Some cars have mere 
bunks. Lockers along both sides of the 
car, like some closed-car town model 
seats, can be extended with cushions 
across the car. Beds are less difficult 
in a cabin car than the seats for the 
driving hours, for beds can be made 
to roll up, fold up, buckle up, swing 
up, take down and tuck away. But 
beds and seats for riding are only a 
small part of camping. Indeed, an 
ordinary touring car is not especially 
difficult to turn into sleeping quarters, 
as well as driving quarters. 
The cabin car is shelter in stormy 
weather, and in the evening after a 
long day, when chill is in the air, one 
may well wish to sit down to write a 
letter or notebook, or to read a maga¬ 
zine or newspaper. The question of 
lighting thus arises. Some have small 
bulb lights attached to the car battery. 
The better way, however, is not to take 
a chance of exhausting the car battery. 
Gangs of ordinary dry cells, with wire 
and light bulbs of ample power can be 
installed and renewed, as required, 
Bulb sockets, and handy-line wires can 
extend the lighting service all over the 
car, and under it, all without drain on 
the headlight, ignition, starter and 
other travel requirements. Plenty of 
light is a tourists’ pleasure in dark or 
dusky camp grounds.
