Our slide sprung a leak along the outside corner, leading to some separation. We sealed the best we could to get it home, but now it needs a rehab. Needs the slide wall closest to driver rebuilt, and we'll have to replace the couch and carpet.

I'm in Allentown, PA for a few months. I've tried Camping World, and they do not work on anything older than 2015. Also previously tried National, which limits to 10 years old.

Willing to drive, and it needs to be an indoor location because of the rain we get here in the spring.

No question. Worth the drive to Junction City. Premier RV Services... They'll do it the right way, and inside while being worked on. And yeah, it will cost some coin... But, if your budget allows it - no better shop to have other modifications made, and any catch-up maintenance taken care of at the same time.

IMO. As long as the rest of the coach is in relatively sound condition. It's worth investing funds in... 36' CC's are a sought after unit. Should have the ISC, which is as bullet proof, and KISS/mature engine, as you could ever want in a coach that size... Exhaust Brake is fine for that size!

Certainly would not hurt to take some pictures, and network with Premier for their thoughts!!

Best of luck to you,
Smitty

(Still missing out CC's!)

Premier probably is the best, not cheapest option. I purchased my Foretravel there. Newly retired. Let me know if you need help driving it out there.
BTW- if this is a recent issue try putting in an insurance claim. Comp may cover the water damage.

The Motorcoach Store in Bradenton, FL is another consideration here on the east coast. Send pics to john@themotorcoachstore.com

I too agree if you’re willing to drive, Premier is the place.

By the way, Mr Haynes, what a gracious off to help drive their coach across the country! What a guy!

I love this forum!

Premier RV is the old Country Coach factory. The other break out is Oregon Motor Coach. Premier also seems to find better stuff. I owned 2 National RV rigs. Still admire the Country Coach Stuff. Yep, I'll help drive someone else's rig.

Odd man out here, I prefer Oregon Motorcoach Center. The owner of OMC was the cabinet shop foreman at CC. He bought the company from the Lee family years ago. OMC also owns all the CC intellectual property and a lot of the molds used to make body parts. Lots of former CC employees work there. Belonging to a CC club, you will get a discount.

Landing at the Eugene OR. airport you will pass OMC on way out. About 9 miles to Premier. Both cool places to look at CC stuff.

Coachcraft by MacDonald in Columbus GA is also a decent shop.

We used them to replace a whole raft of stuff on our 2005 Magna recently.

I suspect no shop is going to be cheap labor on that

Good luck @OP
