The Shop
One craftsman. Every rivet, personally.
Larry Hill bought his first vintage camper in 2002 to pull behind his 1958 Chevrolet — and co-founded the Southwest Vintage Camper Association not long after. He opened Retro Restoration in 2004 and has been at the workbench ever since, personally restoring "canned ham" trailers from the '40s through the mid-'60s, along with riveted classics, fiberglass campers, pickup campers and the occasional vintage motorhome.
The shop has been featured in newspapers, magazines and the documentary Cars on Route 66 — but it's still Larry, one trailer at a time, in Canon City, Colorado.
This is where most restorations start.
