OCRV Center handles major collision damage on RVs, vans, and trailers, including cap replacement, frame and chassis straightening, and slide structure repair, all in shop in Yorba Linda. We bill your insurance carrier direct and write the supplement when teardown uncovers hidden damage.
A hard hit moves more than the panel you can see. It can shift a cap, tweak a frame rail, push a slide out of square, and tear wiring behind the skin. Major collision repair is about finding everything that moved, measuring the structure, and rebuilding it to factory tolerance before any cosmetic work begins. All of it happens in our 35,000 square foot shop.
What major collision repair involves
Major collision work starts where the damage reaches the structure or spans multiple systems. That includes a crushed or separated front or rear cap, a bent frame or chassis, a slide room knocked out of alignment, and the wiring, plumbing, or seals that ride behind the damaged area. The repair is not just bodywork, it is rebuilding the coach so it drives straight and seals tight again.
We tear down to the damage so the estimate reflects what actually moved, not just what shows on the surface. On a big coach the house is built on the chassis, so a real repair has to respect both the structure and the systems inside it.
- Front and rear cap repair and replacement on Class A, B, and C coaches
- Frame and chassis straightening with measured pulls to factory points
- Slide room realignment and structural repair after a hit shifts it
- Multi-panel and sidewall replacement with color matched refinish
- Repair of wiring, plumbing, and seals damaged behind the impact
We document and bill the insurance claim
We work direct with every major carrier, photograph the damage, and write a complete estimate up front so the repair is approved and then finished right. When teardown uncovers hidden frame, wiring, or seal damage, which is common on bigger hits, we document it and write a supplement to your carrier before we proceed, so the repair stays complete and you are not caught in the middle.
In California you have the right to choose your own shop no matter what an adjuster suggests. Bring us the claim number and we coordinate the repair from teardown to delivery, all in shop.
- Direct billing with major carriers and full photo documentation
- Written estimate from teardown so the claim reflects real damage
- Supplements written and submitted when hidden damage appears
- Slide, seal, and systems checked so the rig is delivered weather-tight
- Repair measured and documented to factory structural specs
Frequently asked questions
What makes a collision repair major instead of minor?+
A repair is major once the damage reaches the structure or crosses multiple systems. A bent frame, a separated or crushed cap, a slide pushed out of alignment, or torn wiring and plumbing behind the panels all move a job from cosmetic to structural. We tear down and measure first so we know which one your rig actually needs.
Do you handle the insurance claim on a major collision?+
Yes. We bill direct with the major carriers, document the damage with photos, and write the estimate from teardown. When we find hidden damage behind the panels we write a supplement and get it approved before proceeding, so the repair is complete rather than cut short by a missed item.
Can a bent motorhome frame be straightened after a major hit?+
Most frames can be straightened back to factory tolerance with anchored, measured pulls and selective reinforcement, all done in our shop. Full replacement is rare and reserved for severe structural failure. We measure against factory control points first and give you an honest call before committing to either path.
