Freedom RV {here in Tucson} completed all of the repairs to our coach and this morning I brought it back to our storage yard. I am nothing but amazed at the thorough, high quality job they did. As noted above the damages were significantly more severe than initially thought.
The force of the explosion blew the top of the wheel well right up through the floor doing additional damage to the interior cabinetry. The tech said that often such an event can result in the cabinets being blown right through the roof. We were lucky...
The wheel well was completely rebuilt, the twisted steel bar cut out and replaced, the bent frame straightened along with new mud flaps, misc bolts and wiring repairs. The cabinets got quite a bit of new hardware to replace the pieces that were damaged and/or destroyed.
They then detailed the damaged area and the interior of the coach. Here are a couple of shots of the finished repairs:
Total cost was $4,131 less my $500 deductible less the $251 GEICO reimbursed me for the blown tire... total out of pocket to me = $249.
Nothing but good things to say about the entire staff at Freedom RV and the folks at GEICO who handled my claim. If you are in the Tucson area and need any RV work give them a call.
:C
