When you say tagged a corner...is that the side wall or the fiberglass end cap.
If it's the end cap, a fiberglass boat guy should be able to make a repair that is invisible to the eye.
If the side wall or the roof is involved, not sure they would want to get involved. While the side walls are sort of fiberglass, they are different.
FYI - While I understand the response, silicone slopped on may be an issue. Near impossible to remove all traces of it and nothing sticks reliably to it. Just throwing it out there in case someone else has a similar incident.
Honestly I'm not sure what your asking. Maybe you can answer your own question with the link I posted to the pic of it.
I put the silicone on the exposed wood behind the shell. Only tape is on the fiberglass body.
The difference is a lot of RV's have a fiberglass end caps (front and sometimes back) that are just regular fiberglass like most boats use (although pretty thin as they don't need much structural strength). Any good fiberglass boat guy should be able to handle repairs to those.
The side walls though referred to as "fiberglass" is a different material with different repair requirements. Bubba fiberglass guy may or may know what to do with this material.
It's hard to see from your picture but it looks like your rig uses a different method where they use the same sidewall material on the nose. Because it's just a gentle curve, it works.
Let the guy know about the silicone. He may just cut the hole a little larger to remove the traces but at least if the repair fails, you can point to the fact you informed him of the issue.
Good luck.
