Those types of tales puts me in mind of Paul Theroux's "The Old

Looking at the truck, I was reminded of Steinbecks's "Travels with
Charley". I recall it being an amusing read, although I don't
remember all that much about it.

I did remember Steinbeck's truck with that same style of old camper on
it, and thought of it immediately when I saw it in the photo.
