Texas Body Shop.

[Ron Thompson]

To anyone who has info. Well the unthinkable happened. On my way from Waller, Tx. just outside of Houston, Tx. I stopped on I-10 in Beaumont at the Petro Truck stop on the West side of Beaumont. since there is no parking for a 42 footer in the front of the Restaurant area, I parked in one of the 18 wheeler spaces in the rear and went inside to have lunch with my wife. When I parked there was an 18 wheeler on the right or Curb side of me and none on the left or Road side. When I came out there were 18 wheelers on both sides and it was kind of a tight squeeze. I got in and backed very carefully out and didn't touch a thing and was happy that it was going so well. I was on my way to a Cooper reunion in Newton, TX. I arrived there and hooked everything up and got my minivan off the tilt up trailer I was pulling and everything looked good. I never noticed anything wrong. The next day one of my kin folk was looking over my RV and he asked "What happened there?" I said where and he pointed to the road side rear end of my RV and lo and behold there was a big chunk of the rear fiber glass bumper broken off and the road sheet metal had been pushed in slightly and the vent screen was pulled out about 3 inches. White paint was on the sheet metal indicating something white had hit and scraped it . The sheet metal damage appeared to have been hit first and then the driver of the 18 wheeler realized what had happened and tried to back up and caught the fiberglass bumper and broke off about 14 to 18 inches of it. I am asking all of you if you know of a good body shop that is experienced in body work on RV's in or near Houston, TX. Preferably one that is experienced on WanderLodges. I thank you all for your help. Ron Thompson -Waller, Tx. 1995 WLWB 42'Blue Bird (cockyfox@...)
