Workshop

Check out the pictures on the right for an insight into the hard work that goes into each Airstream restoration at the American Retro Caravans Ltd workshop.

This includes welding, painting, insulating, flooring, plumbing, joinery, upholstery, buffing and polishing. We only use qualified craftsmen for each job so that all of the work is completed to the same exceptionally high standard - from re-wiring to plumbing, ensuring consistent quality and safety throughout each project.

We don't just do refits in the workshop we provide a range of other services including dent removal, leak repairs and after-sales servicing. Please see our services section for further information.
