Free-spirited retirees like them--along with party-minded young men who want something tall from which to watch NASCAR races and then live it up--have been the engine of the RV industry for years.

Swede, so called for his tall, blond, blue-eyed good looks, is built for a speedy launch into the American mainstream. His luck seems endless. He joins the Marines as World War II is ending; he returns from service to prepare to take over Newark Maid, his father's successful glove factory; and he marries the former Mary Dawn Dwyer, Miss New Jersey...
