Title: Skin and leak repair issues.
Post by: Duro on July 02, 2020, 09:45:42 pm
Boy I’m disappointed. After waiting months to get into my favorite rv shop due to virus shutdowns in Washington. They finally reopened on a limited basis. They were going to completely reseal the body and windows plus replace the rear skin under the rear window in my midbath. After a couple weeks we get a call to pick it up unfinished. They did a nice job on the reseal but couldn’t due the repair. They ordered the parts for the mothership but then got a call saying the machine that makes the skins is down. With no ecd of when the part would be able to be made. So when picking up the rv I ask if they will let me know when the part is available. The guy broke down with tears in his eyes and said due to the virus shutdown they couldn’t recover. And are closing permanently. Gonna miss this shop as I trusted their work. Now to find someone else to take on the job.

Hi Duro,
What's the name of the shop? I'm hoping it isn't the family-owned shop in Tacoma (don't remember their name at the moment). I was hoping to use them for work on my 2003 since my local Ford dealer baled on me.

Its a bit of distance but JR's RV repair in Sedro Wolley is tops in this area.

Thanks Hutch!
A bit of trip for me, but if I need something major, doable.

Thanks, Duro,
I'm afraid this economy is going to be brutal on a lot of these small businesses. I guess it's time to get real good at DYI!

Bill believe me I would try to tackle the job if I had a garage big enough to put it inside. It would save thousands in labor costs.
