Minor Body Damage

Just backed into light fixture on garage. Looking for advise and experiences. The area damaged is contained within about a square foot center of rear cap. Paint damage as well as some gel cost done to fiberglass. Does not appear to be any structural damage. Should I wait til February for Newmar or trust another tested body shop this side of the Mississippi?
I think you will agree, the light fixture is a total loss.

A good body shop in your area should be able to do that repair- if not- bring it to SW Illinois & have Knebel Auto Body fix it. They have done body work on mt 5 coaches & are perfectionist! It will be better than Newmar's body shop repair!

Happy Trails

I know it is heart breaking. I had good luck with a small body shop, Bend-Aid, in Oklahoma. Good luck and keep us posted.

I know the new lettering (you have to buy it all), is about 150 from Newmar.
