Camping out at Bend RV Repair

Alpine had two areas that needed body work.  Here is a "Before" photo of the areas that Jeff at Bend RV Repair fixed:

Jeff  talking to Michael about how he intends tackling the front bumper
which was looking the worse for wear from the paint chipping off

the previous owner had a bit of an altercation with the tree behind him while backing
into his spot, which left a puncture in the fiberglass cap, right below the first brown
stripe

Here are the "After" photos.  This is what Alpine looks like now after having its bumper recovered with rhino truck bed liner:

I asked Jeff if he could also do some "rhino-plasty" on me....but he just laughed.

Here is what Alpine looks like after having the hole fixed on the back cap:

Here are a few more captures of the transformation process:

work already begun on the bumper

rhino truck liner applied and ready for painting

delicate work with fiberglass

no more hole... now for blending in the swooshes 

Thanks Jeff... whom we call "the magician"...

After all was done, we moved on to Crown Villa for a few nights. It was a bit of a surprise to find out that Scandia RV Park was full and we felt lucky to get a spot in the dry camping area at Crown Villa. This was to be our very first dry camping experience.
