Vintage Trailer Retrofits Sacramento

Upgrade your vintage trailer with trusted retrofit services right here in Sacramento.

Restoring Your Vintage Trailer Might Sound Easy, But the Reality Is Far Different

The idea of bringing a vintage camper or vintage trailer back to life and restoring it to its former glory seems like a great and fun project. Restoration projects can be tricky, and if you’re not experienced, it’s smart to get professional advice before taking on something as significant as restoring a vintage trailer.

We suggest that you don’t plan your project around the resale value. Most people forget that the resale value of a vintage trailer is almost always lower than the time, money, and energy you’ll put into it.

Also, keep in mind, you are dealing with a 50-60-year-old piece. Be sure the structure is solid before you worry about the decorations.

Why Go The Professional Route for Your Vintage Trailer Project?

At McColloch’s RV Repair, we specialize in vintage trailer retrofits in Sacramento, preserving nostalgic charm while adding modern-day reliability. Before you start painting or decorating, make sure your trailer has a solid foundation and a functional system. You’d be surprised how many “restored” trailers look great on the outside, but underneath, they’re one nasty bump away from falling apart. That’s why we always recommend starting with a well-built trailer from a reputable manufacturer, more importantly, letting professionals handle the critical upgrades. It’s a smarter investment, and when the time comes to sell, you’ll have a much easier time finding a buyer who appreciates quality work. After all, fresh paint on a rotting frame is just putting makeup on a pig. If you want your restoration to last and to actually enjoy using your vintage trailer, you need more than just a pretty exterior. You need modern systems, safe plumbing, efficient wiring, and structural integrity, and that’s where we come in. We can help with all of that and more! We will make sure your vintage trailer isn’t just a showpiece, but a road-ready adventure machine.

What We Offer – Expert Trailer Retrofit Services in Sacramento

Water System Upgrades

Does your vintage trailer have a pressurized tank? We can update your rusty steel tank to a modern poly tank with a 12V pump.

LP (Propane) System Safety

Many trailer owners don’t realize that safety regulations have changed significantly since their trailer was built. Based on the updated safety regulations, we will replace outdated rubber lines, upgrade to OPD-compliant tanks, and perform a full pressure and leak test to ensure everything meets today’s standards.

  • Upgrade 110V lights and outlets
  • Retrofit or replace 12V interior lights
  • Install “smart” battery chargers and fuse panels

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION’S

It depends on what you want. If you’re doing it for personal use, a well-executed restoration can give you years of enjoyment and pride. But if you’re doing it to sell, keep in mind that the resale value often doesn’t match the time and cost invested. That’s why we always recommend inspecting your trailer first to check if it’s structurally sound and worth restoring.

Yes, you can. But it’s not always as simple as it looks. Vintage trailers often have hidden structural issues, outdated systems, and safety hazards that are easy to miss without experience. Our team can help with the critical work, plumbing, electrical, LP systems, and more so that you can easily focus on the fun parts like decorating and customizing.
