The question is not whether they can justify it, but whether it is a fair estimation for such damage. Since the credit card company does not get itself involved in damage estimates, I'm on my own now. I'm basically at their hands now.
A "fair estimate" is a very subjective question.
For a professional repair facility/body shop, yes that is a "fair estimate". I dinged a bumper on a car a few months ago and I got a bill for $850.00. Again, the labor costs being what they are, that was the bulk of the bill.
For a self-repair job, a "fair estimate" would be a fraction of that number. By having the professional repair facility fix the damage, you're going to pay through the nose. That's just the way it is. There is a lot of overhead involved in those businesses, and they will (in theory anyway) have to restore it to like-new condition.
When you have an RV valued at several tens of thousands of dollars, and even upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars, no repair of any kind on an RV will be cheap.
Good luck.
