Yesterday my parked RV was hit by my neighbor's commercial lift. Thankfully, the damage is concentrated only at the door.

I couldn't find a part number anywhere on the door. I contacted Veurinks and CamperID this morning for replacement parts and my understanding is that the only thing available in the market is an universal type of door.

They want me to remove the door frame to measure the opening.

Any tips on the best way to go about this repair/replacement so that I am set back the least? Could a repair be a better option than replacement? There are no good RV shops near me in Brooklyn, NY.

My neighbor owns a warehouse next door and we are amicable. I have not filed a police report and he agrees to pay for the damage.

This is a 2005 R-Vision Trail Lite 251. The manufacturer has gone out of business.

Thank you for your help!

Take it to a pro.

Dexter is the main manufacturer of rv doors in the USA. When I replaced mine in 2018, I bought through General Supply. The shipping which includes a crating charge was around $200.

Can't figure the top left picture, but the others look like the door and frame are still square in the frame. The door skin looks to be fiberglass over foam insulation, but it's not clear what the interior material is or if it is dented.

If the damage is only to the exterior skin, repair is not difficult and, as suggested, I would take it to a pro. The biggest expense will be repainting, and you will have to do that regardless of repair or replacement. If it is, in fact, a universal door, it may be cheaper to simply replace and paint rather than pay for time and expertise to repair. You need to shop around for estimates.
