# RV Body Shop Work for Hacienda Heights Owners, Handled In One Building An RV body shop repairs the exterior envelope of a coach without altering its structure: dents, sidewall panels, compartment and entry doors, window frames, glass, entry steps and surface corrosion. Most of that work arrives from parking lot contact, UV degradation, road vibration and a seal that quit years ago, not from a wreck. The coaches that arrive here on a body ticket are rarely dramatic. A compartment door that opened itself at 65 miles per hour and folded backward against the sidewall. An awning arm that gouged a sixteen inch scar into a Filon panel when the wind took it. A Hehr window weeping at the lower corner because the putty tape under the clamp ring turned to chalk. A Kwikee step that caught a driveway apron and bent its inner arm. None of those are dramatic and all of them get worse if left, because every one of them is a hole in the envelope. What separates a real answer from a phone guess on this kind of work is knowing which assembly is actually bolted to your coach. Two identical looking travel trailers from the same model year will have a Kinro window on one and a Hehr on the other, and the frame depth, the clamp ring pattern and the glass thickness are not interchangeable. The same is true of a Lippert entry door versus the Kinro assembly it replaced, and of a Kwikee triple step versus a Lippert Solid Step. We identify the part at intake, price the part from the channel that actually stocks it, and tell you the lead time before you authorize anything. A part that is nine weeks out changes the plan, and you should hear that on day one rather than week three. Not everything exterior belongs on this program, and saying so up front keeps you from paying for the wrong scope. Impact damage that moved a structural member, shifted a body mount or changed a measured dimension is scoped at /rv-collision-repair, because it needs measurement before anything cosmetic is touched. Refinishing, blending and clear coat work is scoped at /rv-paint-shop. A delaminating fiberglass laminate or a soft spot in a molded cap is scoped at /rv-fiberglass-repair. Body work here means the substrate and the assembly, and paint is a separate line whenever the repair crosses a color break. All of this happens in one building. The OCRV Center facility is 35,000 square feet at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, which puts Hacienda Heights owners 18.4 miles out, 24 to 38 minutes on SR-60 west to Fullerton Rd. Body work needs a bay, a bench, a rivet gun with two hands on it and a controlled cure for adhesive and sealant, so none of it is work that happens in a driveway. Drop the coach, get a written scope with a part number and a lead time on it, and decide from there. ## Services in this program - [Dent Removal and Repair](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/dent-removal-and-repair) $500 to $6,500 - [Panel Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/panel-replacement) $750 to $12,000 - [Bumper Repair and Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/bumper-repair-and-replacement) $500 to $4,500 - [Fender and Quarter Panel Repair](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/fender-and-quarter-panel-repair) $600 to $7,500 - [Compartment and Baggage Door Repair](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/compartment-and-baggage-door-repair) $200 to $1,800 - [Entry Door Repair and Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/entry-door-repair-and-replacement) $400 to $4,500 - [Window Frame Reseal and Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/window-frame-reseal-and-replacement) $250 to $3,500 - [RV Windshield Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/rv-windshield-replacement) $2,500 to $7,500 - [Aluminum Skin and Sidewall Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/aluminum-skin-and-sidewall-replacement) $2,500 to $25,000 plus - [Entry Step Replacement](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/entry-step-replacement) $400 to $2,000 - [Rust and Corrosion Repair](https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop/rust-and-corrosion-repair) $400 to $3,500 ## Questions **What does an RV body shop do that a general auto body shop cannot?** Three things. It knows that an RV wall is a bonded sandwich rather than a skin over studs, so it does not attempt techniques that only work on a car. It reads moisture before it quotes, because water in the core is what actually drives the cost. And it has the parts channel for coach specific assemblies: Hehr and Kinro windows, Lippert doors, Kwikee steps, Trim-Lok trim. Those are not available at an automotive parts counter. **Can I drive in, or do I need an appointment?** Both work. Insurance walk ins are welcome and Saturday hours run 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, though an appointment gets you a bay and a writer without waiting. Bring the coach, the registration, the claim number if there is one, and keys to every compartment. For anything electrical such as a powered step, bring it with the batteries charged so we can cycle the circuit. **How do you know which window, door or step assembly is on my coach?** We identify it physically rather than from the VIN, because coach builders substitute components mid year. Window frames carry a maker stamp visible with the interior ring off. Latches identify by cam and bezel pattern. Steps identify by linkage geometry and controller family. Once we know the assembly we can tell you the part price and the lead time before you authorize anything, which is the whole point of doing it first. **Do you work on coaches from Hacienda Heights?** Constantly. Hacienda Heights is 18.4 miles from the shop, 24 to 38 minutes on SR-60 west to Fullerton Rd, or SR-60 east to SR-57 south and SR-91 east if you are coming in the afternoon. All work is performed at our Yorba Linda facility. Body work needs a bay, a bench and a controlled cure window, so none of it happens at a customer location. **Will insurance cover exterior body damage that was not caused by an accident?** It depends on whether there was a discrete event. A tread separation, a storm, a compartment door that failed at speed and a rock through the glass are usually covered under comprehensive. Hardened putty tape, a compressed seal, corrosion and accumulated storage dings are treated as wear and generally are not. We bill direct with every major carrier and we write the two categories on separate lines so the adjuster can see which is which. --- Source: https://ocrv.club/rv-body-shop OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887 Phone (949) 799-3387.
