Well, it finally happened . Our rig was dinged by someone while in storage here . Right front corner at bumper level crushed in by impact. Damaged area is about 1.5 sq. ft. and appears to have no structural damage beyond that.
Need to have a good fiberglass and paint shop here in Houston do the repair. Insurance covers it 100%, but I do not know where to find that shop that has experience with RV's; so here I am looking for recommendations from you all . Need to get our rig in and out of shop real soon.

I'd suggest contacting Gene Thornton at Thornton's RV Repair in Magnolia, TX. Gene's shop repaired the damage to our 5th wheel (see signature) after a tire failure and did an excellent job.

You might want to talk to someone who specializes body work on Corvettes. They work in fiberglass all the time.

If you're going that route, check out boat repair shops as well.

Frank's corvettes in Spring is where our covette club members do a lot of business! He has done most of my mechanical work and I know he has a paint and body shop in Conroe. He is a great fellow!

I know you were looking for someone in Houston but take a look at Extreme they are in Nacogdoches and they are motorhome specialist. Here is a link Custom RV and Motorhome Painting, Custom RV Paint Design, RV Paint Repair, Motorhome Body Work, Fiberglass Repair, RV Insurance Repairs, RV Manufacturers, Tow Vehicle Paint, Boat Paint, Motorhome Paint, Motor Home Paint, Bus Paint, RV Painting, James
Hate that you have a ding and hope you get on the mend.

I bought a used DSDP from Holiday World of Houston (Katy location) and their fiber glass and paint man did an excellent job with a right rear quarter panel bash in that was on the unit when I first looked at it.
