Oct. 1, 8, and 22nd Camper Reparadise is hosting an informational class on vintage camper restoration through the Salt Lake City School District Community Education program. This class will help you understand the process that goes into restoring a travel trailer,...
Building Campers Takes Time
Hard to belive it’s been six months since our last post… time sure flies. Especially given the buzz of summer bringing on camper restorations. In fact, since the Bell Adventure Rig rolled out from underneath our heavy overhead doors -- along with its fraternal twin, a...
The Bell Adventure Rig
[singlepic id=853 w= h= float=center] At Camper Reparadise, things happen fast. So fast, that keeping up with all the transformations cuts into recreation time. That’s a bummer, because recreating is fun… almost as much fun as building innovative vintage campers....
Jeepers Creepers
[singlepic id=604 w= h= float=center] When Brandon launched Reparadise, as expected for any start up, there were many holes in the tool department. One gaping void was the lack of a creeper -- an essential to any service shop that can be found for 25-ish dollars at...

Le Diable Rouge
Airstreams and bicycles have a long-standing relationship, dating to when Alfred Latourneau used one to pull a '47 Caravan. Which, given his achievements (piloting a Schwinn over 100mph, chiefly) and the low weight of an all-aluminum trailer, this shouldn't come as a...
