Add Up the Bands for the Work You Think You Need

Select the operations you believe your vehicle needs and this adds the published OCRV Center bands into a combined low and high. It is addition over the same rate card printed on the prices page, performed in your browser, with nothing sent anywhere.

What the combined number is good for

Deciding whether to pursue a repair at all. An owner who suspects roof membrane failure plus subfloor involvement plus a slide seal is looking at three separate bands that individually seem manageable and together may exceed what the coach is worth. Seeing the sum before the evaluation is the point.

It is also useful for the opposite conclusion. Owners routinely overestimate delamination and roof work by a factor of two or three, having read forum threads where somebody quoted a worst case. Adding the actual bands frequently makes a job look smaller than the dread around it.

Where the sum will be wrong

Two places, both predictable. First, bundling: operations that share masking, teardown or booth time cost less together than the sum of their bands, sometimes considerably less. The estimator does not know which of your selections overlap, so it adds them straight and overstates. Second, hidden damage: a band assumes the scope visible from outside, and teardown finds what it finds.

Those two errors point in opposite directions, which is why the honest instruction is to treat the output as the shape of the number. A priced evaluation is what converts it into a scope, and the evaluation tiers are published on the estimate policy page.

Questions

Questions on this

Why does the tool add bands instead of giving one figure?

Because one figure would be a guess dressed as arithmetic. A band is what the operation actually costs across the range of vehicles we see, and collapsing it to a midpoint would make the number look authoritative while making it less true.

Does the total include parts?

Labor and shop materials. Manufacturer parts are quoted separately where the part dominates the cost, because a Lippert rail, a Dometic assembly and an Onan component are not interchangeable figures. The parts and materials page explains how that is handled.

Turn the sum into a scope

A priced evaluation finds what teardown finds and prices the bundling the estimator cannot see. Both corrections usually matter.
