Brad & Jacolyn Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hello, We are full timers and are in Edinburg, Tx until April 1st. On our way down here a couple of days ago we blew out a tire on the 5th wheel (HitchHiker Champagne) and tore up the drivers side. I have not got any answers from the insurance company yet so I'm waiting on them. Does anyone know of of a place down here to get the bodywork done without having to go all the way back to Chanute, Ks? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

spindrift Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) These folks do excellent work. The added benefit is being able to spend time in Bandera. https://classarvrepairs.com/ My apologies...I don't read too good...

rickeieio Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 We've talked to others who've had work done at the place spindrift linked above. All had good things to say. We'll be in Bandera for the month of Feb. if you care to stop by.

Deezl Smoke Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 The Hitch hiker is old school real construction as I recall? I don't know that you have to go to an rv specific for repair of that construction. I'd ask around about ma/pa remodelers local to your stay. Some of those folks can do wonders, especially if your Hitch hiker is as I remember them to be, actual lumber construction. Probably depends on the vintage year of your coach.

Larry Burkett Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Brad, when we had a blowout last year, we had to go to Chanute because the panels that were damaged, were hard to come by and Darrell wouldn't let any out of his shop because he couldn't get any more. We went from Michigan to Chanute to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not going to sell them, why have them?

Larry Burkett Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Kansas RV is busy all the time repairing NuWa trailers. When we were in there last year, there were 5 trailers in there getting something done, from "minor" repairs to one that had 2 slides out and the interior was being remodeled.
