I'm feeling sick as I've just driven my Swift Sundance into an overhang and ripped the outer skin.

As i will be paying for the repair out of my own pocket, Could anybody advise me of a decent repairer in the South East who won't charge an arm & leg ?

Thanks for reading this I really do need advise, as I don't know where to turn.

Every m/homers nightmare and I add my commiserations to those already expressed. The South East is a 'big place' so the only suggestion I have is to search here . http://www.yell.com/ucs/HomePageAction.do for caravan or motorhome repairers in your area. Failing that, I would contact Swift for recommended body repairers in your area and "bite the bullet"

Good luck and I hope you find a good repairer.
