Finally! Tree Damage is Repaired!

You may remember that back in June we had a tree fall on the edge of our RV, causing some damage. HERE is the blog post about the damage. We finally got our rig repaired during a visit to Mike's Collision Center in Wilmington, North Carolina.  We chose this facility as they have a downdraft paint booth in which our rig fits.

Getting parts and repair shop availability is quite an issue when you have to repair a large vehicle like our New Aire, and you're constantly on the move. The window was on a six week backorder. It, along with the topper and window awning, were forwarded to Mike's from Minnesota. 

Mike's was busy too. We literally camped in front of one of their buildings for about two weeks. We were quite thankful that they had full hookups.

Fred and Ethel Approved!

They replaced the bedroom slide out topper, window shade, and window. They repaired a hole in the fake top awning, and did some paint work (all three colors) and buffing out some scratches.

They did an outstanding job.

Where Are We Going Next?
