New doors - Better than new! Almost

On Thursday we received a call from Scott the claims adjuster from GMAC. What great customer service after making the initial report to a deaf and dumb clerk in India. He said to go ahead with Roberson as they are on the GMAC preferred list of body shops.
With the doors off, we drove the motorhome over to Roberson's and met with Dave. He spent a lot of time looking over the damage. We then went over to parts where the parts man contacted Winnebago and determined only one of the doors was in stock. Dave said the other two doors would need to be fabricated by the factory. We will also need the bottom pan and the side panel along with some other parts. We left Dave to finish the estimate and forward it to Scott.

Friday I setup an open air RV body shop to fabricate my own doors.

And presto! New doors.

We were able to find a green tarp which matched the paint perfectly. Looking down the MH you have a hard time even noticing the doors aren't the originals! Yes, I'm still in denial!
