Where to REPAIR Damage to Fleetwood in central east coast Florida

2010 Fleetwood Discovery 40G had the rear tire hit something in the road on our way traveling to daughters wedding and caused extensive damage to the wheel wells and bays around the blow out. Metal went everywhere and blew the other side rear tire out as well with less damage on that side.

But it also destroyed the inverters, electrical, some plumbing, gas line and various things we don't know of yet
but we are having a heck of a time finding a repair shop that can fix the bays first (can't house inverters in nothing!) and give us an estimate and time frame for repairs that are covered by our comprehensive policy.

Anyone have any luck with a body shop/ repair facility on the east coast of central FLORIDA (BREVARD, INDIAN RIVER, PORT ST LUCIE COUNTIES) WHO CAN HANDLE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS?

Don't expect it to be repaired. From your description, I would suspect your insurance company will total the coach.

Creative Coach outside of Lakeland is a well known RV repair/paintshop. From your description and age of the coach, I agree with the prior post in that it will likely be totaled


Creative Coach Collision Repair and Design Center in Lakeland, FL is an interior design company for motorhomes.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

We're hoping they will not total it (only 18000 miles on this rig and looks almost new) but it does need some extensive repairs. Electrical alone could be costly because it definitely needs new inverters. That bay had the most damage to it and most the wiring intelligence begins there. Insurance has paid for some initial stuff already but I can see the costs for repairs are not even known yet.

From your suggestions, we found Crash Champions Collision Repair formerly known as Custom Colors Paint & Body in Port St Lucie, FL. The other major RV Sales and Service places in the area don't work on things older than 7-10 years so this was our choice or potentially Lakeland that is much further away from Vero Beach area.

We'll let you know how it goes.
