Published rate card

Sidewall cross section
What the sprinter and camper vans 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:
- 01Painted steel skin
- 02Body cavity void
- 03Closed cell insulation
- 04Furring strip
- 05Wall panel or upholstery
- Bond system
- Mechanical fastening to the factory rib, with contact adhesive holding insulation and liner
- Moisture path
- Water enters at aftermarket roof penetrations, window cutouts and the sliding door track, then runs down the inside face of the steel skin and collects at the rocker seam.
- Crossover point
- Once corrosion has perforated the rocker or a structural rib, the section is cut and replaced. Filler over a perforated panel is not a repair.
- 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. Once corrosion has perforated the rocker or a structural rib, the section is cut and replaced. Filler over a perforated panel is not a repair.
- 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 sprinter and camper vans program at OCRV Center?
Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster and Class B conversions. Vans lead our intake, and they are the one vehicle class where the body is the structure. The program covers 5 scopes: mercedes sprinter, ram promaster, ford transit, class b camper van, conversion van. All of it happens in shop.
How long does sprinter and camper vans 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 sprinter and camper vans repair stop and replacement start?
Once corrosion has perforated the rocker or a structural rib, the section is cut and replaced. Filler over a perforated panel is not a repair. 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.
