Vintage Airfloat Trailers

In 1930, Omar Suttles began manufacturing his new Airfloat travel trailers at 1600 E. Seventh St. in Los Angeles. These early trailer coaches with their unique (but stationary) porthole windows, were some of the first travel trailers in the industry. Initially, Airfloat trailers were constructed with Masonite siding on the exterior, but starting with the 1947 models Airfloats were sided with "modern" and durable aluminum siding that was pressed into a distinctive horizontally corrugated profile - more attractive and rigid than plain flat sheets of aluminum. Airfloat built some of the finest trailer coaches in the country and their model line-up including the Land Yacht in 24ft. and 28ft lengths, the Cruiser, the Rambler and the Skipper. In 1942, Airfloat began manufacturing their 24ft. Commodore 3rd Wheel. This innovative design placed an extra wheel(s) under the tongue and helped to lighten the load on the tow vehicle's hitch. Airfloat incorporated this unique feature on all of their larger models from around 1947 through model year 1955. In 1947 Airfloat Land Yacht models became notable for their new interior "yacht style" double-doors feature, which enabled the bedroom area to be closed off from the rest of the interior, when the 2 bedroom closet doors were fully opened. The Airfloat Trailer Coach Company celebrated their 25th year anniversary in 1955 by producing some of their trailers with their aluminum siding anodized in a striking gold color. This new siding color was so successful that starting with the 1957 models, all Airfloat trailer coachs came with this gold anodized aluminum siding. In 1956 Mr. Suttles decided to retire, and so 1957 was the final year of Airfloat trailer coach production.
