Repair Gallery and Case Notes

OCRV Center documents before, during and after on every significant job. The case notes below describe what the owner brought in, what teardown actually found, what was performed and how it finished, because the gap between the first two is the part most people never see.

Photography of completed work tells you a shop can make something look right. What tells you more is the record of what was underneath. Every job below is a real repair performed at this facility.

2018 Class A Motorhome

Class A Front Cap After a Post Strike

What Came In: A low speed strike on a campground post left what looked like a modest crack in the fiberglass cap. The owner also mentioned the entry door had recently started binding, which he assumed was unrelated.
What Teardown Found: Teardown showed star fracturing under the gelcoat extending roughly three times past the visible damage, and structural measurement found the cage behind the cap had shifted about a quarter inch. That shift was what had changed the door geometry.
What Was Performed: Structure pulled back to specification on the rack, laminate ground to sound material and rebuilt to full thickness, cap refinished with color matched to the coach as it existed rather than to the factory code, then blended into adjacent panels.
Outcome: Sixteen weeks. Door operates through full range. Supplement approved on documentation.

2015 Fifth Wheel

Fifth Wheel Floor That Two Shops Called Terminal

What Came In: Soft flooring near the slide opening. Two previous shops had told the owner the unit was not worth repairing.
What Teardown Found: Moisture mapping showed the wet region was roughly three times the size of the area that felt soft underfoot. The source turned out to be a slide seal rather than the roof everyone had assumed, which explained why a previous roof reseal had not helped.
What Was Performed: Cabinetry and flooring removed for access, rotted subfloor cut back to sound material at a joist, framing replaced where rot had taken it, new substrate installed, underbelly restored and resealed, and the slide seal geometry corrected before new seals went in.
Outcome: Five weeks. Floor solid. Slide seals evenly across full travel.

2021 Sprinter Camper Conversion

Sprinter Conversion the Insurer Shop Would Not Touch

What Came In: Side impact in a parking lot. The carrier network shop declined the job once they opened it and found a house electrical system, solar and a water system behind the panels.
What Teardown Found: Unibody damage extending further into the shell than the visible deformation suggested. Separately, the original converter had used undersized cable on the house circuits with grounds bolted to painted sheet metal.
What Was Performed: Conversion systems documented and protected, unibody corrected at factory pinch weld points, panel replaced, refinished and blended, driver assistance scanned and recalibrated. Owner separately authorized correcting the conversion wiring.
Outcome: Six weeks. ADAS recalibrated to specification. Intermittent 12 volt faults resolved.

Food Truck

Food Truck Back on the Road in Eighteen Days

What Came In: Side impact took out the serving window, destroyed the graphics and knocked the flat top loose from its mounting. Four separate vendors had quoted parts of the job.
What Teardown Found: Body structure damaged around the serving window opening. The kitchen equipment had been mounted by a restaurant equipment installer using methods appropriate to a building rather than a vehicle.
What Was Performed: Body structure repaired around the window opening, window assembly replaced, graphics rebuilt from photographic reference of the undamaged side and reapplied, equipment remounted to dynamic load with backing plates spreading load into structure.
Outcome: Eighteen days. Owner missed two weekends of service rather than a season.

2012 Class C Motorhome

Cabover Rot Nobody Had Looked For

What Came In: Owner came in for an unrelated awning repair and mentioned a musty smell that came and went.
What Teardown Found: The cabover joint where the fiberglass meets the van cab had been leaking for several seasons. Under the bed platform, the floor structure and the framing supporting the cantilever were both compromised.
What Was Performed: Bed platform removed, wet substrate cut out, rotted framing replaced, cabover floor structure rebuilt as a load carrying cantilever rather than a sleeping shelf, exterior skin rebonded, and the joint seal that caused it repaired.
Outcome: Seven weeks. Cabover structurally sound. Smell gone because the cause was gone.

Last Mile Delivery Fleet

Fourteen Unit Delivery Fleet, Never More Than Two Down

What Came In: Accumulated rear corner and sliding door damage across a fleet working the Port of Long Beach corridor. Operator could not afford to take multiple units off the road.
What Teardown Found: Consistent damage pattern across units pointing at a specific dock configuration rather than driver error, plus corrosion behind older impact damage on the units past eight years of service.
What Was Performed: Work batched so no more than two units were down simultaneously, parts ordered before each unit arrived, corrosion cut back to sound metal rather than filled, and paint formula recorded so the fleet stays visually consistent year over year.
Outcome: Rolling schedule across nine weeks. Fleet never dropped below twelve units in service.

Photographs of work in progress are available at the shop. Coming in for an estimate lets you see how a facility actually operates, which tells you considerably more than finished photographs do. Read how a repair runs here or see what customers say.
