While at the shop the slide out malfunctioned and caused a bulge on the outside of my beautiful coach, 2001 Wanderlodge 40LX. Does anyone know of a body shop that could fix it? Here are the pictures:

Did the slide out close all the way? That trim looks to be out about 1/2 inch.

Yes, it opens and closes fine. But of course something got push out and my mechanic even tried to use a forklift to push it back (the bulge) to no avail

at this point you don't have a problem,but keep pushing on it with a forklift and your going to spend some real money.

BTW I have two referrals from others now: Coachcraft in GA and RCI XL also in GA. So I’ll be visiting one or both of them soon. Someone also said Pop Pop in this group. I’ll have to search for him too

THIS

Forklifts are great tools. In the 90s, a younger Dave was asked to drive a forklift onto a trailer with a wooden deck. No problem.... BOOM. An underwear change may have been required. Very powerful and heavy machines...

Newish paint and body shop for RVs in macon. They've been there for quite a few years now. I met with a few of the paint guys about three or four years ago and they were excited to possibly do some work for me! They used to paint at Wanderlodge.
