# Extended Cargo Van Repair in Chino > OCRV Center repairs extended-length cargo vans in Chino, including the long-wheelbase body, the stretched rear overhang, sliding doors, and rear barn doors. Collision and panel work handled in shop in Yorba Linda. An extended cargo van is a standard Sprinter, Transit, or ProMaster stretched with a longer wheelbase or a longer rear overhang behind the axle, which adds a long, flat run of sheet metal and a tail that swings wide. That extra length changes how the van gets damaged. The long flat sides catch sideswipes and dock rash, and the stretched rear overhang drags on driveways and clips posts the driver cannot see. We repair the long body without leaving a wave down the side. ## Where the extra length gets hit The two trouble zones are the long quarter panels and the rear overhang. A long, unsupported flat panel shows every ripple, so a sideswipe or a backed-into post needs the panel pulled and worked flat, not just filled, or the whole side reads wavy in raking light. The rear overhang, the part of the body that hangs past the rear axle, scrapes on steep driveway aprons and tags posts and walls during tight backing, bending the rear corners, the bumper, and the lower barn-door edges. On a 159-inch or extended-overhang van, the body lines have to stay straight across a long span, so we block and check the panel over its full length before refinish. Sliding side doors on the long wheelbase ride a longer track that knocks out of adjustment after a hit, so we reset the track and rollers so the door seats and seals instead of dragging. ## Keeping a long body straight The hard part of an extended van is not the dent, it is making a long panel read flat from front to back. We pull and work the metal, block the panel over its full length, and refinish so the side is straight in sunlight, not just in the booth. Sliding-door and barn-door alignment is reset so the openings line up after the repair. - Long quarter-panel pull and block-sanding to kill waves over the full span - Rear overhang, corner, and bumper repair from backing and driveway strikes - Sliding side-door track and roller reset on the long wheelbase - Rear barn-door edge, hinge, and seal repair - Color-matched refinish blended across long adjacent panels ## Frequently asked questions ### I scraped the rear overhang backing into a driveway. Can you fix it? Yes. The stretched rear overhang, the body that hangs past the rear axle, is the part of an extended van that gets damaged most, because it drags on steep aprons and clips posts during tight backing. We repair the rear corners, the bumper, and the lower barn-door edges, then refinish so the tail reads straight again. ### After a sideswipe the long side of my van looks wavy. Will it be flat again? Yes. A long, flat van panel shows every ripple, which is why filling a dent is not enough on an extended body. We pull and work the metal, then block-sand the panel over its full length and check it in raking light before refinish, so the side reads straight in sunlight and not just under the booth lights. ### Will the sliding door still seal correctly after repair? Yes. The long-wheelbase sliding door rides a longer track that often knocks out of adjustment in a collision. We repair the door panel and reset the track and rollers so it seats and seals along its full travel instead of dragging or leaving a gap. --- Source: https://oc-rv.com/vehicles/extended-cargo-van-repair/ OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887.
