C. G. Pttersson is said to have been the first designer to create a camping boat. We will never be sure if that is true, but he was certainly one of many designers during the first half of the 20th century who designed small boats for outboard engines and with a wondscreen for protection at high speed. Camping boats were usuallt lapstrake built and constructed at most boatyards along the coast. Camping trips became a popular activity as people got more days off. Camping boats were designed for day weekend trips in the archipelago with a tent, a spirit stove and tined food. The seats were often removable, and if the crew was not too numerous inflatable beds could be laid out on the flooring. The boats were mass produced and sold complete with an engine at an affordable price. The campingboat in the National Maritime Museum was sold by Elektrolux in Uppsala in 1958. It was added to the museum's collection in 1981. Just twenty years ago there were still many camping boats in active use, but due to their low resale value and flimsy build only a few boats remain today.
