## How the job runs

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.

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.

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.

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.

The work. Structural and moisture work closes out before any finish goes back on. A released front cap radius is a cap replacement, not an injection. Flat sidewall under about 10 square feet still rebonds.

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.

## Sidewall cross section

Layers, outermost first: Gelcoat or filon, Fiberglass skin, Luan backer, Block foam core, Aluminum stud, Interior liner.

Bond system: Roller or vacuum laminated urethane adhesive, generally a thinner glue line than a Class A

Moisture path: Water enters at the front cap to sidewall seam and the upper deck transition, then runs behind the cap radius and surfaces in the bedroom floor or the front storage bay ceiling.

Crossover point: A released front cap radius is a cap replacement, not an injection. Flat sidewall under about 10 square feet still rebonds.

Luxury Fifth Wheel: $4,500 to $25,000

## Questions

### What is included in the fifth wheels program at OCRV Center?

Fifth wheels carry the tallest front cap in the towable class, and that cap takes the weather first. Front cap and pin box work is most of what arrives. The program covers 3 scopes: luxury fifth wheel, toy hauler fifth wheel, half ton towable fifth wheel. All of it happens in shop.

### How long does fifth wheels 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 fifth wheels repair stop and replacement start?

A released front cap radius is a cap replacement, not an injection. Flat sidewall under about 10 square feet still rebonds. 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.
