Wally Byam, the founder of  Qingfeng RV, was born in a new town along the Oregon Trail in Baker City. Due to limited family conditions, he can only survive by huddling in a wooden cart pulled by a donkey. With the accumulation of years, the wooden car gradually took on the appearance of "home". In addition to food, water, sleeping bags, even the stove for heating was also moved into the car, and it is these unforgettable childhood memories that make He got the inspiration to build a trailer.

After graduating from Stanford University in 1921, he and his first wife, Marion, became fascinated by the trendy lifestyle of camping, but the fussy Marion never liked sleeping on the ground. To this end, Wally Byam began to try to build a trailer with a simple tent structure for each of the special T-cars. This wave of creative operations quickly achieved consensus in the travel circle. Fortunately, it successfully manufactured itself. After his trailer, Wally Byam also wrote a detailed DIY guide for others to use. Soon, at the request of his neighbors, he built a second and a third... Until 1931, Wally Byam finally moved into a factory in Culver City, California after accumulating, and this place became The place where the Qingfeng RV dream started was in the early days of the factory. At that time, there were less than 50 registered trailer RV manufacturers in the United States. However, in the next five years, the strong market demand caused an instant blowout phenomenon in the industry. By 1937, 400 RV companies have been registered. Unfortunately, most of the followers were buried in the flames of the Great Depression and World War II.

Different from European RV products, Qingfeng RV adopts a rough design with American style. Whether it is an unmodified all-aluminum body or an exposed rivet structure, it gives it a unique tone and cultural characteristics. In 1948, with the opportunity of a post-war lecture tour, Qingfeng also engraved the mark of the wheel on the map of Europe for the first time.

In 1969, Qingfeng RV underwent its first major upgrade in more than 30 years, including the interior decoration and exterior structure. The most obvious change is the use of a rounded design with smaller wind resistance, and the length and width of the body have also been improved to a certain extent.

With its unique design and functionality, as well as decades of residence culture, Qingfeng has undoubtedly transformed into a true American icon. Like Harley and Mustang, it has become an irreplaceable iconic symbol in American wheel culture. In 1987, Money magazine selected the Breeze trailer as one of the "99 most successful things Americans have done", which is as famous as Coca-Cola and Heinz Ketchup.

It is worth mentioning that the durability of Qingfeng RV is far beyond imagination. Of all the Qingfeng RVs that leave the factory, more than 70% are still providing services for travel enthusiasts. And to this day, people still reap endless fun from Wally Byam's insight and adventurous spirit.
