Genuine American motorhomes with an unmistakable design. America’s most famous engineering feat. The realized vision of successful entrepreneur Wally Byam, who has traveled to many countries around the world. These are the legendary American AirStreams caravans that we have now brought to the Czech Republic.

The history of these caravans dates back to the 1920s. Wally Byam was trying to develop a unique caravan, the advantage of which would be aerodynamic shapes according to such construction methods, which were commonly used in airplanes at that time. His aim was to reduce air resistance when towing behind a car and to make caravans more resistant to strong winds. Wally Byam introduced his first model as early as 1934 and continued his steps appreciably in the years to come.

Now these AirStream caravans are owned by Thor Industries. The company has been the largest manufacturer of caravans in the world for years. What makes them unique is their technical specifications and quality, as up to 70 percent of these caravans are still in existence, according to official statistics. They still manage to take to the roads all over the world and we decided to buy one of them. We have renovated it and now we are sharing its beauty and advantages with you.

Airstream and NASA.

Airstream motorhomes are not only an icon of American style and culture, but they have also made history for NASA. In 1962, Airstream teamed up with NASA to modify one of their caravans for research purposes. This caravan was used as a mobile laboratory for scientists and astronauts who were engaged in various scientific projects. But what is even more interesting is that this caravan was also used to transport astronauts after they returned from a space mission. Because of its compact design, the Airstream Caravan was ideal for transporting astronauts from the airport to the Kennedy Space Center for research and development. This collaboration demonstrates how Airstream is a leader in innovation and technology in the caravan sector, even for specific purposes such as space research.
