Our Story

Quality, authenticity, and style brought to vintage campers

We are a team of fabrication, design, and small-space experts

When Airstream was busy transitioning operations from California to Ohio and antique automobiles were considered classics, one of those classics, a Model T, found its way into the hands of Steve Zinninger and kicked off a life-long passion for vintage craftsmanship.

During that time, Steve became the owner of a national commercial/industrial painting company that required extensive traveling. Despite the miles, a growing family quickly piqued a new interest — historic houses. Tastefully melding modern convenience with retro sensibilities became a driving force in his home restorations.

Houses. Automobiles. Traveling. Kinda makes sense that the allure of yesteryears’ campers soon found a new devotee. That passion has been passed on to Brandon, Steve’s son, and the president of Camper Reparadise. Growing quickly, this small business now employs ten people. With decades of combined experience, impeccable attention to detail, and a love of quality workmanship, Camper Reparadises team is uniquely positioned to advise and serve clients considering vintage camper projects from full restorations to appealing updates.

Rowe’s eye for clean lines and expert lumber choices lead to many of our early modern interior designs. Unfortunately, he’s hanging up the shop apron due to ALS. Focused on making the most of an e-assist wheelchair, he frequents the shop and the world around.

Detail oriented and goal driven, Kendra provides our clients with camper renderings during the design phase … and, when Mel’s out of the office it’s up to Kendra to keep things in order.

Jake Lawlor

When the snow’s piled up, you’ll find Jake at the resort doing his part to pioneer the skibike or push ski blades to their limit… thankfully his focus, efficiency, and work ethic keeps the sawdust stacked deep in this shop. You can see the result of his work in this Backcountry.com trailer, Ambassador, Clipper, Sovereign, and an up coming Airstream Flying Cloud.

Equally proficient in the metal shop as in the wood shop (just take a look at this custom Tin Bar), Molly helps pick up the slack with whatever needs to be done. When punched out, you’ll find molly on single track ribbons, or competing in Jujitsu tournaments.

Brent brings to the Reparadise team a natural talent for metal fabrication, which is easy to see in his art work. On top of his ability to whisper aluminum and coheres it into complex shapes, Brent’s eclectic collection of vehicles ranging from a custom BMX chopper to his DD Cherokee Chief always brings a good conversation to the table.
