Caroyl I am familiar with the business. They are a small family business that also rents vintage trailers.
Feel free to PM me.

Thanks! We have an appointment booked with John to look Gracie over and discuss what he might be able to do for us while in the valley next month.

That is excellent I wish you a great appointment.
We rented one of his Vintage Airstreams for a milestone birthday trip and to see if that was what we really wanted. Within minutes of leaving we knew a vintage Airstream was for us.
He was also very helpful and generous with his knowledge when we bought our first one.
Three Airstreams later not sure if we should thank him or not.😱

Would they perform maintenance on a newer (2007)? I need a leak test and my door adjusted. How would their work compare with Desert Autoplex?
We are in Scottsdale for a few weeks and would like to get a little work done.
Thanks

You would need to contact Retro RV and speak to John to get those specific answers.
There would be many things Retro RV could handle on Vintage and Current Airstreams but we don't the specific parameters.

called and left message last week and no reply, so made an appointment with Desert Autoplex. Hopefully they are competent. Rick, service manager, said their Airstream tech is factory trained.

We left Gracie with John for plumbing and electric. We'll be back March 1st and pick her up. [emoji2] Excited to see some progress!

Very nice looking, we have also added grays to ours and have a couple more to add to newer acquisitions.

Had a 08 27 FB repaired by him last year. Does great work. Extensive damage to rear repaired perfectly.
