Well, I've sustained the first damage to my coach. That didn't take long. I was having tires put on at a small tire place-first mistake. I told them exactly how to jack the coach up. They did it correctly for the front using two jacks. They jacked the rear up on one side between the tires and it was too much for the jack. Multiple cracks in the aftermarket flared fender skirt and a foot long tear in the coach above the fenderwell. The owner assures me that he will have it repaired. I've been reading on here and cant determine what method to use. The coach was built in 10/73. Is it fiberglass or SMC? What would the aftermarket fender skirt be? Do I take it to a fiberglass repair shop or a truck repair shop? I blame myself to some degree for taking it to a small shop and not watching them every step of the way. Put your smartphone away while they are working on your coach. I was amazed by how much damage could be done from a tire change. I would hate to see what it would look like after a blowout.
