During the great cattle drives on the Chisholm and Goodnight trails the "hands" would set up camp each night around the chuck waggon.
The cook had a special cabinet to hold his utensils, and the rear flap was lowered to form his work surface.
In the body of the waggon the cowboys' bedrolls and gear were stored, and a canvas cover could be draped over the hoops.
Typical camp equipment is shown on this plan.
Also available in 1/12th scale JT61B.
