Vintage Travel Trailer Repair & Restoration
We can handle most repairs to your Vintage Camper, from tiny teardrops
to classic motor homes.

NOTICE!
Effective January 1, 2008 Retro Restoration is not scheduling any work on customer trailers until further notice.  We are going to concentrate our efforts to reducing our growing inventory of project trailers.  Watch for several newly restored trailers available in the near future!

Exterior Repairs Include:
Reskin damaged Aluminum - Most times it is a cost effective solution to stripping old paint and repainting the old skin.  Now available is polished aluminum for all or part of a trailer at a lower cost than polishing.
Paint -
Original or Custom Colors.  Can be matched to tow vehicle.  We use a urethane automotive paint that will last for years.  We prefer to paint trailers with new aluminum siding,  talk to us about repainting original skin. 
Polishing -
Nothing looks better than a mirror finish on a Spartan!  Polishing available on limited basis on some bare aluminum trailers and on most trim.  
Window Repair - We can do the glass work, re-screen and reseal those leaky windows.  Hehr windows rebuilt.
Tail & Marker Lights -
Tired of intermittent or dim lights?  We can fix it!  Upgrades available to new LED lighting in retro style.
