## 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. Rotted studs mean the wall opens. Skin alone can be replaced while the frame under it is still sound.

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: Aluminum sheet or filon, Bead of butyl at each seam, Fiberglass batt or block foam, Wood or aluminum stud, Luan or vinyl liner.

Bond system: Mechanical fastening with butyl seam tape on stick and tin, laminated adhesive on filon builds

Moisture path: Water enters at screw heads, the belt line trim and corner moldings, then wicks along the stud bay and surfaces at the floor to wall joint.

Crossover point: Rotted studs mean the wall opens. Skin alone can be replaced while the frame under it is still sound.

## Questions

### What is included in the trailers program at OCRV Center?

Travel trailers, cargo, utility and horse trailers. Frame, axle, skin and floor work on everything that is towed rather than driven. The program covers 5 scopes: travel trailer, cargo trailer, enclosed toy hauler, utility trailer, horse trailer. All of it happens in shop.

### How long does trailers 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 trailers repair stop and replacement start?

Rotted studs mean the wall opens. Skin alone can be replaced while the frame under it is still sound. 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.
