​History
Omar Suttles put the Airfloat travel-trailer into production in Los Angeles in 1930. His port-hole window Airfloat Trailer Coach is one of the oldest names in the history of American trailer coach manufacturing. Airfloat built trailers at its 1600 East Seventh St. location in downtown Los Angeles. In 1942 Airfloat began offering a 24 ft. model called the Commodore .  . Airfloat coach was one of the most expensive post-war trailer coaches available.

It was actually an airfloat coach that was the inspiration for the original book “the long, long, trailer” by Clinton “Buddy”Twiss. in 1949 Mr. and Mrs Twiss purchased a 28 ft. landyacht for their great adventure. however, a 1953 redman new moon 32′ was used in the 1954 film of the same name, starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
