Читать книгу Streamline Aluminum Trailers - Daniel Hall - Страница 6

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Like restoring or building a camper, producing a book on the methods and concepts involved with a travel trailer is no small achievement. And, even though I work on these things every day, I can’t pretend to know everything about the subject matter.

With that said, this book contains a mass of information from the tradesmen and professionals at Camper Reparadise. Camper Reparadise is a restoration shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, that began as a small family business and has since grown large enough to occupy a 10,000-square-foot facility, employ around 12 professionals, and produce more than 20 restorations a year. Among those specialists, a special thanks needs to be given to Bryan Rowe and Chad Nielson for their contributions in the woodworking and polishing sections.

Likewise, Brandon Zinninger, aka the-best-boss-ever, needs a hearty thank you for allowing the time and resources this book appropriated from the needs of a quickly growing business. From photo taking to long hours at the computer screen, the following pages required much of my attention and devotion over the past year, while other significant responsibilities sat on the back burner.

Additional thanks go to Steve and Melanie Zinninger for providing the stepping stone that Camper Reparadise needed to get off the ground. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today and there would be no avenue to professionally restore campers. Similarly, a special thanks go to the clients who trusted in the shop’s ability and commissioned the restorations you see on these pages.

Thanks also to my inspiring group of friends, and thanks to my supportive family, especially my parents, who put a tool in my hand at an early age and encouraged me to pursue my passions. Finally, I thank my wonderful wife, who kept me on track and graciously supported me throughout this whole experience.
