We picked the motorhome up this week and it looks like brand new. Precision Paint in Bremen, Indiana did an excellent job making the repairs. When we had the motorhome up to Newmar in May they were surprised we weren't having them do the work. I said they were 100% over Precision's quote and they didn't include replacing the front wheel and hub cap while Precision's did. After seeing the motorhome the Newmar person said their quote must have included a lot of extra dollars for hidden damage not shown in the photos. I really don't think the Newmar person doing the quote knew what he was doing since it took three quotes just for them to get mistakes corrected. The first quote they sent me had zero charges for labor which was the largest component of getting the repairs made. I pointed this out and they resent the quote. I found a couple of other problems with the quote and they corrected and resent again this time for $6,100. Precision quoted just over $3000 and the actual charges matched their quote. We actually made money on this wreck. Go figure. Several people told me to take it to Precision regardless of the money because they felt they would do a better job than Newmar.
We are currently planning on heading out to somewhere in mid July and plan on traveling for about a month. At least that is the plan as of now. By then I am hoping our bathroom remodel project will be completed. Yesterday we finished installing and the whirlpool tub. Now we need to complete tiling the walls and whirlpool deck and getting a new vanity top installed. So far it looks nice.

Written not for notoriety but for our sons, family and friends, so they know where we are at any given time. And particularly for ourselves. Finally, we get to slow down and smell the roses and we don't want to forget any of it. You are welcome to join us as we go 'Down the Road a Piece'.
