Guest Timothy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Yesterday our coach and a guard rail did not maintain social distancing protocol and said bellow to each other in an unpleasant manor. Has anyone had experience with having a door straightened or a new door fabricated. Is it possible to disassemble a door. In the humble opinion of we Monacoers is this door repairable or just needs to be replaced? Thanks Tim 2007 Camelot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncsteve Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I would think a body shop could repair and paint it. If not, may check the salvage yards for a replacement. No first hand experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidL Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The doors have to be removed, straightened (in a hydraulic press), Cleaned, body work, primed, painted, clear coated. Is the left most a fender or a door? That one doesn't need to be removed. All three should be painted in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timothy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks all. The left most is the front of the wheel well. It’s fiber glass and just nicked.i am on the west coast (southern cal). I may go back up to Colbert for repair if I can’t find anyone around here that sounds reputable and competent to do the repair. It always helps to have a little knowledge of what’s possible before venturing out for the repair Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkur89xr4tiride Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) That door looks repairable. My RV had the same problem on three cargo doors and Creative coach in Lakeland, Fl made three new doors which were same as original. So there are plenty of professionals repair shops that can handle your situation. Edited September 24, 2020 by merkur89xr4tiride spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I have the same issue. I plan to disassemble and get a new skin made. Reassemble and have it painted in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allphase8 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you are in So Cal Temecula Valley RV in Murrieta, CA has the capability to manufacture a new door. I would speak to Diane (951) 894-2347. 26240 Jackson Av Murrieta CA 92563 United States As I recall when speaking to the owner they a way for you to take measurements and they could fab the door. Obviously better to take it in for them to do it there. They have parking accommodations for full timers. Ron 2006 Camelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Selby Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I damaged a door on mine. I bought a used door from Visone RV Parts Salvage. Door was roughly 1200.00 Had it painted and installed. It's the paint job that costs. Mines good as new. REV would make me a door for roughly 2500.00. My door was bent pretty bad. The labor to repair it was going to be as much or more than the used door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timothy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks James. I have an appointment at Temecula Valley RV on the 7th, but will probably ship the door to Rick Makin in Eugene for reskining then go up for paint once the door is ready.
