Title: Camper Repairs
Post by: Southpole on February 28, 2017, 11:41:31 AM: Can anyone recommend anyone or place reputable that repairs campers. We have a 2000 Artic Fox that needs a reseal, bumper, service doors replacement and rear floor replacement. For it's age it's in pretty good condition, everything works on it and the interior is in excellent shape. We feel it's worth repairing these issues especially when a new Artic Fox of the same size and caliber is $45,000 :yike: (ridiculous) we won't be going there anytime soon. Any recommendations would be great.

Yeah, I've dealt with them before many times in the past. They've always been pretty good to us, but the past couple of years they just don't have the time or the staff to help anyone. 8 months ago, on 2 different occasions, I was trying to buy some product from them. I waited for about 15-20 minutes to pay for them. They didn't even have a person to take my money, haven't been back since.

They seam to do quality work and have knowledgeable staff on hand for any questions.

Post by: Southpole on March 06, 2017, 11:09:37 AM: I'll let you know about the time but the cost isn't going to be broken down like a regular rv shop since this guy is just doing this on the side.
