RV Service in Tucson
I've found a great shop for RV service. Southwest Truck Service, aka Silver Eagle Express (Truck Repair Service). They are just off of I-10 near the major RV dealerships and CW at 3225 East 48th street/520 867-5501.
The owner, Steve Cunningham, is just about the nicest, most knowledgeable guy I've ever met. His facility is huge and caters to 18 wheel trucks but he also does a lot of RV repair business. I had them install a set of Bilstein shocks on my E-350 and they did a great job.
While I was there my insurance company had sent an independent claims adjuster to check on some minor fiberglass damage to the rear of the coach. He pulled me aside and said that this shop was the best in town for just about anything. La Mesa RV had "Guesstimated" the repair at over $1,000 and of course I would be eating the first $500 deductible and would have a claim in my file.
I asked Steve if he could make the repair and he just laughed, said sure and when they finished the shocks install had his guy go to work. We didn't have time to completely finish but they got the damage repaired, sealed and painted.
The total charge was $225. Other then the white being a little off from the back the coach it is perfect and Steve assures me he can color match it when we return from our upcoming trip. Bottom line, good guys, great service at very fair prices.
Here is a shot of our little 24' C next to a fully loaded 18 wheeler. I am parked over the "Pit" for the shock install. Note the Gorilla tape patch (to keep moisture out pending the repair) on the rear of the coach {while loading my motorcycle the pin securing the hitch to the ball failed and the tongue of the trailer jumped up and forward punching a small hole in the rear of the coach....:S }
Here is a shot of the nearly completed repair as he prepares for painting:
