Run away. Doesn't seem cheap for a 2002. If I had to buy something that may end up with the whole side torn off for repair I would be thinking $1,500
They want someone else to solve their problem.
x2....... and that's $1500 to buy it, not repair it . When my dealer did my delamination repair it tied up his shop for 6 mos. waiting for the mfg. to ship the materials.
Its more involved than a soft delaminated skin. Its very labor intensive and involves unforeseen delays.
More suitable for someone with rv repair knowledge and the tools, time and barn to undertake the job.
The repair will be thousands $$$$ depending on what they find when they open it up and see all the unseen damage .
The water intrusion seeks the lowest point , expect rot and damage down below, along the firewall , along the sides and out the back . The water that entered has to find a an exit point .
Filon rv repairs are more expensive than aluminum.
No dealer would take it on a trade. Whoever owns is stuck with it.
