Me too! The profile is close but it still feels like a new trailer.

Meh..... Not really impressed by these retro lines. Just another sales gimmick. Kinda like owning a copy of the Mona Lisa... What's the point? And that fold out in front is going to last what? About 5 years before it starts to fall apart and leak? Part tent, part trailer. It's Campenstein.... |

You know Soup. You should just sell your house, move out here and we could run a hell of a trailer restoral business together. You got anything against sunshine 336 days out of the year?

Hey guys, Last week I set up 15 new campers at a show in here N.KY. 2 huge 5th wheels, 1 very large class C motor home, 1 pop up and the rest travel trailers of various breeds. Right next to our area there were a few of these that were same Retro brand but different body styles than shown here above pics. Again pretty cool looking but still missed the mark even with the Compact copy. Wish I would have had a camera but spotting, leveling and setting up power etc for 15 campers in less than 8 hours and I was too tired to push a button on a camera!  |

We were camping in January in Fredricksburg, Texas in a HUGE RV park, surrounded by $500K behemoths and all the foot traffic came to our spot to see the 'old Shasta'. The 'new retro' stuff just doesn't ring true. |

Yep they have yet to impress me. It just ain't the same. I was never really into fiberglass kit roadsters either. Gimme the real thing baby! |
