A&C Future — At Home Wherever You Go
RVs have a rich tapestry of history that’s as intriguing as the adventures they support. From horse-drawn wagons reminiscent of the Roman era to the sleek modern designs we’re familiar with today, the RV evolution is a testament to humanity’s unyielding spirit of discovery.
It’s captivating to think that the first RVs trace back to the Roman carruca dormitoria in the first century AD. By the 1800s, their versatility was recognized by European circus owners and even the Gypsies, who saw them as both functional and status elevating. The U.S. wasn’t far behind in embracing this mobile lifestyle. What started as ambulance wagons, owing to their comfort-focused design, laid the foundation for the RV designs we see on American roads today.
By the late 19th century, the allure of RVs was undeniable. The “Wanderer” in the UK and the “McMaster Camping Car” in the U.S. marked significant milestones in the purposeful design of RVs. But, like all industries, challenges were inevitable. Post World War we saw a decline in horse-drawn RVs, making way for powered ones, a transition signified by the gasoline-powered motorhome built in France in 1902.
Fast forward a few decades, the term “motorhome” was coined in the 1950s, a name now synonymous with road-tripping. The RV industry saw innovations inspired by other transport modes, from airplanes to buses, evolving into the RVs we recognize and love today.
While RVs offer convenience, flexibility, and cost-effective living, they aren’t without challenges — from being perceived as hard to maneuver to concerns about their environmental impact. That’s where A&C Future steps in, committed to reshaping these perceptions. We envision a sustainable, easy-to-drive RV with zero emissions.
