Published rate card

Sidewall cross section
What the campers wall is actually made of
Every water and delamination decision on this vehicle comes back to the layer order in the sidewall. Outermost layer first:
- 01Aluminum or composite skin
- 02Foil facing
- 03Block foam core
- 04Wood or aluminum frame
- 05Thin luan liner
- Bond system
- Vacuum bonded panel adhesive on composite builds, mechanical fastening on stick built
- Moisture path
- Water enters at roof seams, the jack mounting plates and the lift mechanism cutouts, then follows the frame down and surfaces at the floor perimeter.
- Crossover point
- On a wall this thin there is little to rebond. Once the core is wet, the panel section is replaced rather than injected.
- Where this is evaluated
- In shop at the Yorba Linda facility. Moisture mapping is part of the priced evaluation and is credited against an authorized repair.
In shop process
How the job actually runs
- Step 01
Get the vehicle to Yorba Linda
Drive or tow the vehicle to 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda. Insurance walk ins are welcome and no appointment is needed to start a collision teardown.
- Step 02
Priced evaluation
Collision teardown is one hour at $210, an RV systems evaluation is $150, and an in depth diagnostic is one hour at $285. Every one of those is credited against an authorized repair, so the evaluation is not money you lose.
- Step 03
Scope and carrier
You get the scope in writing with rate card figures against it. If a carrier is involved the shop bills direct and handles supplements on line items the adjuster missed.
- Step 04
Authorize, then the deposit applies
Jobs over $2,000 take a 50 percent deposit at authorization, and jobs over $10,000 take a further 25 percent when parts land. OCRV Center orders nothing before you authorize it.
- Step 05
The work
Structural and moisture work closes out before any finish goes back on. On a wall this thin there is little to rebond. Once the core is wet, the panel section is replaced rather than injected.
- Step 06
Pickup
Final balance is due at pickup. Card payments over $1,000 carry a 3.5 percent surcharge, which passes through the merchant fee rather than burying it in the labor rate.
Common questions
What is included in the campers program at OCRV Center?
Truck campers, pop ups, teardrops and overland boxes. Small bodies, thin wall stacks, and failure modes that show up faster than on a coach. The program covers 4 scopes: truck camper, pop up camper, teardrop camper, overland camper. All of it happens in shop.
How long does campers work usually take in Whittier?
Labor bands across this program run from a few hours to several hundred. Parts availability drives the calendar more than labor does, and special order parts require a full non refundable deposit at the time of order, so the schedule is set once parts are confirmed.
Where does campers repair stop and replacement start?
On a wall this thin there is little to rebond. Once the core is wet, the panel section is replaced rather than injected. That threshold is a structural judgment, not a preference, and it is made during the priced evaluation rather than after teardown has already been billed.
What needs doing?
Every service program below takes this vehicle. Pricing bands are on each one.
Scope boundary
What this shop does not take

No engine rebuild and no internal engine machining.
No transmission rebuild and no drivetrain overhaul.
No DOT inspection and no DOT certification.
No emission testing and no emission certification.
