Thanks Down the Avenue. I sure would like to think they didn't damage it, Though please help me understand a little more-
The past water damage was minimal. 2 months ago I drove it over 1000 miles, and none of these things were there when I took off the vinyl knee panel. The cracks in the exterior fiberglass were not there when i took it in ( i had been inspecting seals in that area just before hand). Those cracks correspond with the spot where wood was pushed in on the interior , which made the vinyl knee panel no longer fit flush when i reinstalled it. It had fit flush before I took it in. The wood that had no water contact at all- 6 inches of split wood at the center -was not there, and would make sense if there had been impact or pressure enough to push the wood in at the corner. None of those things were there when i took it in, and the shop is only 20 minutes from me. And I have not driven it since, except home. So while I would like to be completely reassured by your words, I'm left puzzled, and needing to resolve this new issue.
Oh, and I can understand that sanitizing is not included. Still shouldn't the tanks be empty after a "dewinterization"? I need to call them and approach them for these things.
