HELP -mechanic damage & de-winterization

1. They probably just ran water through the system during de-winterization and you are seeing the residue with pink colored water. They obviously did a poor job. I am not sure why you would pay someone to connect your RV to a water source and turn on the faucets. You basically perform "de-winterization" functions every time you use the RV and its water system.
2. They probably did not damage your RV. If you see delamination, that is from water damage, not collision damage. If they had a collision in your RV strong enough to split a piece of interior wood, you would see crushed exterior damage. The area you say they damaged is probably rendered structurally unsound from water damage that you have admitted is in that area. Driving the RV on the highway has put stresses on that weakened area and things have shifted a bit causing what you see now.

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 front 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.
