My Birchaven is being used as a lifeboat for the family of my wife's friend. (Their house had a fire and is being refurbished.)

The drywall contractors let a scaffold get away from them in the wind and it banged the coach. Driver's side about midship. It only hit the drip-rail. I am looking to see how much others have paid to repair similar damage, so I can ask a fair amount. (I do not believe in soaking others for obvious accidents.) Wife's friend did take it to an RV repair facility and got a quote that I think is a bit high... (about $850.00) But as I try and do as much of my own work as possible so I do not truly know how fair it is.

I have posted pictures here:

The coach has original Imron paint... not perfect but pretty good. (Other than the front hatches.)

Thanks in advance for any input.
