A Kansas couple is marketing covered wagons once used by pioneers to journey west as a luxury camping experience.
In this April, 11, 2019 photo, Dennis Steinman stands inside his covered wagon outside his home in rural Douglas County, Kansas. The wagon has room for a king- or queen-sized bed, a bunk bed, and a wagon wheel table. Dennis and Donna Steinman have built the first of what they hope will be many 26-by-10-foot canvas-covered wagons. Their PlainsCraft Conestoga Wagons are more like the Winnebago of covered wagons; they're intended for those drawn to glamorous camping, or glamping.
