# A-Frame Camper Repair in Chino > OCRV Center repairs A-frame folding campers in Chino, including the hard panel walls, fold hinges, roof seam, and collision damage, with insurance billed direct. An A-frame camper folds flat for towing and snaps up into a rigid peaked roof, so the hinges, the panel edges, and the seam along the ridge are where it fails. We repair the hard walls, the fold mechanism, and the collision damage in shop so the camper folds flat and locks solid again. ## A-frame repairs we handle Unlike a soft pop-up, an A-frame uses two rigid panels that meet at a ridge, usually aluminum or fiberglass skin over a foam or framed core. When a panel is cracked, crushed at a corner, or pulled away from its hinge, the camper will not seat flat for towing and the ridge seam starts to leak. We straighten or replace the panel, rebuild the core where it is delaminated or rotted, and reset the fold hinges so the two halves close square. Then we reseal the ridge and edge seams so the camper is watertight when raised. - Hard-panel wall crack, crush, and corner repair - Fold hinge and latch alignment and replacement - Ridge and edge seam reseal against leaks - Delaminated or rotted panel core rebuild - Aluminum or fiberglass skin refinish ## Fold flat, raise square An A-frame only works if both panels meet cleanly at the peak and lie flat on the trailer deck when folded. A bent hinge, a tweaked frame, or a swollen panel throws that geometry off and the roof will not lock. We check the fold geometry first and correct the structure before we refinish, so the camper raises square and tows flat. - Fold geometry checked against a flat deck - Frame and crossmember straightening at the hinge line - Travel latches reset so the camper tows closed - Refinish only after the structure folds correctly ## Frequently asked questions ### My A-frame camper will not lock at the peak. Can you fix that? Yes. That usually means a fold hinge is bent, a panel is swollen at the core, or the frame is tweaked. We check the fold geometry, correct the structure, and reset the hinges and latches so both panels meet and lock at the ridge again. ### Can you reseal the ridge seam on a folding A-frame camper? Yes. The peak seam and the panel edges are the most common leak points on an A-frame. We strip the old sealant, repair any water-damaged core underneath, and reseal so the camper stays dry when raised. ### Do you bill insurance for A-frame camper repair? Yes. We bill your insurance carrier direct on A-frame camper collision and damage claims and document the panel and structural repair.
