Hi, size does matter, especially height. I now realise that 10'6" won't go under something 10'.
To prove it, I have a dent in the curved front section of the overcab roof. The outer skin is not holed so no worries about water getting in, but, my co-pilot is on the warpath and wants it fixed.
So, does anyone know if the guys who offer mobile "dent doctor" services are able to sort it out?
Has anyone used them for a motorhome repair.?
I know somebody on the forum will have an answer. Thanks.
Thanks. There is no sign of a dent showing inside the van so I guess they will have to take out part of the internal
lining to get access. It sounds like it's getting expensive to fix.
Why don't you put a claim in through your motorhome insurance as an accidental repair. After all, that's exactly what you pay insurance for. I think it would be silly not to and after all said and done the prolonged damage could lead to other unforseen problems which evidently will cost more in the long run.
HI you could call out a smart repair company they can stick a platic tip to the dent then pull it with a sliding hammer its a brilliant way to repair things and is mostly undetectable when complete.
If you claim on your van insurance you will get penalised and you probably have an excess anyway . most smart repairs are normally £1/150 ish .
Hopw this helps keep us all informed

------------- you may be frustrated now but infront of me there is a big incline . yeh it may be slow but it is in front
If it was going to cost me £100 to £150 for someone to come and drop the interior trim and push the dent out I'd be looking at a DIY job. I am a Yorkshire man
Look at it this way if you push it in the wrong place you stretch it then it loses it,s tension now you have a bigger repair bill , i would spend the £lesser ammount .

See.. told you he was a genius!
..nah!..that's not fair!? We weren't ready!(..in any case,I think he pushed in..! )
Seriously though,I agree you'd really need to be careful not to stretch the panel even more so..
Only you can decide if it's something you can tackle...but you don't really want to be aimlessly beating at it with a chunk of wood and claw hammer!...
