Past Models

In 1931, Wally Byam opened a factory to produce the Torpedo Car Cruiser, a tear-drop-shaped trailer which he had previously been making for friends as well as selling blueprints so that others could build the model themselves. This model, made of plywood, was advertised for its streamlined design, and a floor plan with plenty of “walking space,” a stove, sink, ice box, and storage.

In the 1930s, Wally began producing several other models, including a Masonite model known as the Silver Cloud. It featured a galley at the left of the door, a double bed at the rear, and a breakfast nook that turned into a double bed or twin beds. This layout inspired today’s modern travel trailer floor plans.
