Airstream Trailers
Although Airstream seam to be the new cool trailer on the block, they have been around since the 1930’s, their distinctively rounded aluminium design created back then by a designer called Hawley Bowlus. Quite remarkably the owner of Airstream lead groups of Airstream owners on travels across America, and the world.
Some interesting facts about airstream are that in 1969 apon their return from the Moon and crew of the Apollo 11 were actually quarantined inside a modified Airstream trailer, this was until the doctors could deturmine if they had brought back any space pathogens.
Where many companies ended, Airstream not only survived by thrived after the depression.

Multi-Cell Mehrzeller caravan
This was a unique concept whereby travelers could design their own caravan while on the move, this was to get over the gripes from mobile home owners who wanted to customize their own vehicles but found this impossible. The Mehrzeller could be customized online to the owner spec so that no two caravans were the same.
