The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

Here is the pics as of end of work. As you can see this is fiberglass coating #2. It has yet been ground and buffed. The ladder is loose and out of the way, the door to the spare and gas cap are removed and some parts on the under side are removed.

We have our jacks down and for the weekend our slides out. During the week, we slide the bedroom out at night and back in during the day.

We don't have the living room slide out at all during the week.

I suspect that the body work will be finished on monday with all the paper to protect the overspray in place on tuesday. Painting would be done late tuesday and wednesday. We may be in a motel sometime through all of this



It will all be worth it when its done. Just like me! A new body to go!

Here is the left rear with all the covering removed and the damage exposed. What you can't see is the fiberglass was pushed in and touched the rear of the coach wall. This would be at floor level and would be in the area of the rear propane heater. Since the wall was not penetraded, there is no damage.




This is the left side and rear . There is damage to the cap at the side wall. There doesn't appear to be any sidde wall damage but I'm not the expert. We will see what is repaired to see what extent is damaged.





Bottom of the cap below the lights. Its really broken. On this fix I have a check for $2559.52 including my deductable. There is a price revision that I dont have. This is a much more extensive damage than the right side.

The new rule is no backing up without a person watching at the rear of the coach. Just to expensive.

A better look at the damage on the right rear. This was caused by the gas pump barrier at the Flying J in West Memphis, AR. I caught the last foot of the rear with the tail swing makint the left turn leaving the gas/propane filling area. This is the last time I used a Flying J, Loves, etc as they are just to close quarters for my RV. The cost of this fix is $3693.52 including my deductable. Time of this repair is in progress.

This is the front fixed and awaiting to be painted. This is a two day job and will cost us $1200.00 as it came with the RV. The rest of the front is in need of touch up painting. Not sure as how much they will repaint yet.





A side view of the front with the repair complete. Painting will probably be Monday.
