The Airstream company has a rich history spanning over 90 years, and has remained a popular choice among RV enthusiasts. From the company's humble beginnings in the 1930s to the modern, innovative RVs of today, Airstream has a legacy that is built on quality, durability, and distinctive design. The company was founded in 1931 by Wally Byam, who was inspired by his love of camping and desire to create a travel trailer that was both lightweight and aerodynamic. Byam's first Airstream trailer was built in his backyard in California, and featured a unique aluminum exterior that was both durable and stylish. Byam's design quickly caught the attention of the public, and in 1936, Airstream introduced the Clipper, which was the company's first mass produced trailer. The Clipper was an immediate success, and helped to establish Airstream as a leading manufacturer of travel trailers. One of the most distinctive features of Airstream RVs is their silver bullet
