Damaged RV by dealer
While my motorhome was at the shop for R&M it suffered some fairly extensive interior damage. New flooring, window coverings and some other things are needed. The dealer is playing nice so far and is...

Sorry to go radio silent on this but wanted to make sure a public discussion did not jeopardize the outcome. No, it wasn't a lion, just a little stray cat that fought long and hard to get out. Tore up the fabric sleeper sofa and all the shades. Cat excrement and urine widely spread. The poor cat made it under the bathroom door (1" gap) to try to get to water in the toilet, then got back out before the poor thing died on the bedroom carpet. He was badly decomposed when the poor chap at the shop opened the door and almost tossed his cookies. Sure enough, one of you replied above about cat allergies and I am radically allergic to cats.
We have had to strip the carpet, toss the sleeper sofa, toss the mattress and and everything else that is cloth. They had the Servepro hazmat team make two runs through the inside to clean every surface including the vents and treat it before I could even walk in it.
Right now, I have taken possession of the unit and will tackle the renovations myself. I am really looking forward to it. We have the sofa, mattress and wood floor on order. My list of projects over the next 6 or more months include:
- deconstruct front overhead cabinets and replace with custom cabinets and new TV
- new wood floor throughout. Ernie Eckberg has been a HUGE help coaching me through this.
- new shades throughout including motorized windshield day/night shades. Will also have to redo some of the valances to match the new fabrics throughout
- new washer dryer combo
- new ultra leather Flexsteel sleeper sofa
- new custom dash console rollout for the front
- new fabric patio and window awnings with led lights
- remove the #%*^ 3M film on the front and clear up headlights
- new tires
- new interior lighting accents yet to be designed
- stainless steel trim on exterior bay doors
We just finished all the outdoor projects in the home we designed and had built ourselves last year and were looking forward to a break and doing some camping this fall but not anymore!
I've been taking pics as I go and will start posts on these projects. Wish me luck!!!!
