When E.C. Peay grew discontent with truck campers on the market in 1958, he formed Allen Camping Manufacturing Company that would eventually created Idle-Time. Idle-Time would expand beyond truck campers in 1979 adding travel trailers to their product offerings. Leaving the truck camper business behind after 2007, Idle-Time has been dedicated in recent years to the construction of fifth wheel and travel trailers as well as park model units spanning up to 44 feet in length.
