Another Blowout

This poor guy couldn't avoid debris off another truck. It took out his front bra, his leveling jack, and eventually his tag tire, which then took out the wheel skirt, compartment door, battery tray, house batteries, and even the washer/dryer.

Rotten Subfloor

This Ultralight Travel Trailer had a few leaks that went on unknowingly. This unfortunatly caused substantial issues with the subfloor. Well, the entire floor.  What perspired after that, well let's just say it turned into a project really quickly. We rebuilt it to how the factory built it. However, we were unable to vacuum bond it as they do. This caused support issues given the open spaces. Not pictured, we added aluminum framing as well. This closed the 35" x 8' spaces to nothing bigger than 35" x 2'. This is what made it right!

Another lower side swipe

One of the most common accidents we see. What can I say, accidents happen.

Blowout

Even the small travel trailer wheels will cause substantial damage in the event of a blowout.  This one put a hole right through the floor.

Screaming Eagle Repairs

This coach has been here on a few occasions. The typical lower door repair/replacement accident was the first time. The second time was for Aqua Hot repairs, and the last time was a turn cut a little too short. 

Button

But wait, there's more.

This trailer was a 2 part job. The damage started with a storm causing a tree branch to fall on it and crack the front cap. Even though temporary repairs were made, they did not hold up and ultimatly let water in. The results were pretty substantial. While we were repairing the damage, we learned the the framing was less than adequate so we repaired that as well.

Roof Repair

It doesn't take much for water to get in and damage the roof. Even with consistent maintenance, water will get in if there is an opening.

Took that corner a little too tight.

One of the hardest parts of driving a large motorhome to get used to is taking wide turns. Sometimes we simply don't have to room and are put into a tight situation. Unfortunatly, things get in the way and they don't always move. 

Button

Lower Door Carnage

Sometimes we get ourselves into a spot that we can't back out of. In this situation, literally. All you can do it keep moving forward and do your best to avoid any further damage. Of course by the time you get to that realization, you are already upset and  your ego is laying on the ground. I can help with the broken ego, but we can get your coach fixed up.

Monaco Delamination

Our customer bought this coach before he realized it had some delamination issues. He knew that he had to fix it but couldn't afford the whole job. After giving him a few options, he decided that he wanted us to try and salvage the fiberglass with the understanding that it wouldn't be 100%. We got her pretty close though. 

Button

Monaco Blow out

No one ever wants to experience a blow out while traveling. They tend to cause quite a bit of damage. If you are lucky, you can keep your coach on all 4.  This coach had sopme bent framing and some missing paneling.  Nothing that would stop us from keeping it on the road.

Oldie but Goodie

Our customer had just finished putting a substantial amount of money into their RV to keep her going. New transmission, new engine, New A.C. unit, New interior lighting. It was very unfortunate when they were hit. After some negotiating with the insurance company, they were able to get this fixed. 


Unfortunatly, there were a few parts that were completely unavailable. We had to fabricate a few parts from scratch. In the end, we had a happy camper pulling away.

Winterizing Issues

An RV needs to be winterized if it wont be heading south for the cold months. A typical RV is pretty simple, but when you have a luxury coach it can be more complicated. This Prevost Marathon had several lines break, but the most strenuous of the issues was the shower valve.

Rear Corner Side Swipe

It is pretty easy to use the rear corners to push objects around. But they do leave their marks. When the wood is already soft, the end results are even worse.

Dutchstar Rear Corner Fiberglass Damage

This coach is a 2009. Because of this, finding the parts was more difficult than the actual repair. There is a lot that goes into getting a damaged RV repaired from start to finish. At the end of the day, we succeeded in keeping our customers happy and on the road!

The common C Class Water leak

This is a very common leak found in C Class motorhomes. Consider this photogallery a friendly reminder to keep up with caulking and light seals. Or if it's too late, this can serve as confidence that we can repair it!

Live and Learn

There is a lot of excitement when purchasing a new coach. Even more after building a garage for your new coach. Backing into the garage takes a bit of practice though. We live and learn, hopefully.

This was sure to throw a wrench in the works. There you are excited to be on vacation and then BAM! It happens to the best of us.

5th Wheels have a different turn radius

It can be tough to navigate tight spots, especially with a 5th wheel! That's why they call them accidents.

Rotten floor and bent support under fresh water tank

The first sign of an issue was flaps of rotten wood hanging down. Upon further inspection, there was inadequate supports for the weight of the water tank, so the existing supports were bent.

Roadside compartment door damage cut corners too tight

Roadside lower collision

This is a pretty common accident. A long bus can not cut corners very easily.

Roof rot water leak roof repair RV roof

Roof Repair

This is a pretty rough case of roof rot. The leak was neglected for quite some time. Given the age and value of this specific trailer, our customer opted to replace the lumber and membrane where it was damaged and coat the rest of the roof with a liquid rubber. He wanted to finish the interior himself.

Out with the old and in with the new

Our customer was ready to update his coach so they could enjoy it a bit more.

Holiday Rambler, rear cap, RV repair, fiberglass damage.

Rear cap tore off.

The rear cap was tore off of this coach causing fiberglass damage.  We were able to salvage the cap and put it back together better than before. 

Button

Front end collision

With only 4000 miles on this coach, it was driven into a box truck was being loaded with the lift gate opened up. Even at low speed, a significant amount of damage was done. 

Button

Rear wall damaged

It doesn't take much to damage these trailers. This one got caught on an object that didn't move so easily and consequently bent the corner of the rear wall open.

Class C Bulkhead Accident

When a deer is trying to dance with you on the highway, it never ends well. Considering, this one wasn't too terrible. Nothing we couldn't take care of!

Maneuvering around a campsite can be quite difficult. Even with a spotter and good communication, accidents still happen.

"We will fix it after our trip"

This family wasn't going to be slowed down. A minor collision that didn't prevent anything from functioning just required some duct tape and a tarp to stay dry.

Misc. Jobs Through Out the Years

We didn't always do RV's and buses. There was a time when we did a whole lot of collision repair and prided ourselves on complete paint jobs, restorations, and odd jobs that no one else would take on.  Tip: We still do these from time to time. 

Button

Commercial Equipment

We specialize in RV's but we also enjoy restoring commercial equipment! Here are a few jobs from our past.
