TLDR
The right steps after an RV, van, or trailer accident, and how to protect your insurance claim.
After everyone is safe and the scene is documented, the most important thing to know is this: you choose where your RV is repaired, not the insurance company. A specialist shop protects both your vehicle and your claim.
Ballpark cost from our price list
Ballpark ranges to help you plan, not a quote. Collision estimates are written after inspection. Final pricing comes from a written estimate after inspection. See full pricing.
Photograph everything at the scene and keep all paperwork. Hidden damage behind panels and in the subfloor is common after a collision, and it is much easier to add to a claim when it is documented early.
Bring the vehicle to a shop that works on RVs every day. General auto body shops often miss RV-specific structural, fiberglass, and slide damage, and they rarely catch the post-collision ADAS recalibration that modern chassis and vans require.
At OCRV, the collision estimate is written after inspection and we work direct with your carrier from the first inspection through final delivery, all backed by a written workmanship guarantee on collision repair.
