Recognizing the ever-growing number of vintage travel trailer enthusiasts, Vicky and Richard Nash have created a new venture called Retro Trailer Designbased in Glenwood Springs, Colo. Their business will sell fully restored pre-1970 model campers and also work with clients to customize their own classic rigs.
The Retro Trailer Design showpiece is a16-foot long, red and white 1962 Shasta reminiscent of a diner, complete with a black and white checkerboard floor, according to the company. Shasta is the Nash’s favorite brand to work with because of its iconic silver wings.
“People just adore our Shasta and always ask if we have other trailers for sale,” said Vicky Nash. “So, we decided to set up shop and start selling.”
When reconstructing a trailer, Richard Nash, a general contractor and luxury home builder for 35 years, utilizes his knowledge of architecture, electrical engineering, woodworking, plumbing, water systems, and metal work, according to the company. The overall design theme of Retro Trailer Design comes from Vicky Nash who selects the color schemes and fabrics. Each trailer is unique in style, layout, and size.
“I have built many high-end homes between Aspen and Glenwood Springs but I get more satisfaction from rebuilding these little trailers than from any of those multi-million dollar estates,” Richard Nash said.
Finding trailers older than 50 years is challenging and time consuming, according to Retro Trailer Design. The Nash network of friends spot prospective projects behind barns and along roadsides. Many units are in such disrepair that their owners just want someone to haul them away.
