Getting the Vehicle Dents Out Before the Paint Job

About three years ago I had my car repainted, but I couldn't afford to have the dents that were apparent fixed first. The paint job looked great, but it sure did make the dents stick out like a sore thumb. In fact I was so uncomfortable with the outcome that I purposely scratched the paint near the dents in an effort to make the damage look more "natural" and less noticeable. It worked, but I was left back at square one. So I went about the process of learning how to fix the dents myself while I saved up for another paint job. What I learned is that it's completely feasible to fix minor body damage without the need for costly service appointments. So, I decided to post some of the options that I've personally used with success on this blog. I hope the information here is helpful to you!

Having an accident with your RV is something that will take you to the collision repair shop. This is something that can be frustrating and costly, but it is also a chance to improve your RV. Some of the things that can improve your RV while it is being repaired include replacing sheet metal with fiberglass panels or installing new LED lighting. There are also options like solar roof coverings and low-profile antennas. Here are some modern improvements for RV's while they are having collision repairs done.

1. Take A Load Off by Installing Lightweight Parts Wherever Possible

The extra weight of your RV can reduce efficiency and performance. Therefore, modern RV designs use lighter metals, fiberglass and carbon fiber materials. When you are having collision, repairs done to your RV, talk with the repair service about replacing heavy materials with modern lightweight parts like fiberglass panels or carbon fiber materials wherever possible. Reducing the weight of your RV will improve performance and fuel consumption.

2. Improve Your RV Roof with Solar Panel Membranes to Generate Power

There are many different electrical installations that you are going to use in your RV. These systems require using the engine, a generator or solar panels to produce electricity. The roof of your RV is a great place to install solar panels with modern flexible membrane systems.

3. Improve the Performance of Your RV By Installing Modern LED Lights

The electrical systems of your RV can hamper performance, which includes things like headlights, taillights, and the interior lighting systems. Since things like taillights may have been damaged during an accident, collision repair is a good time to consider upgrading your RV lighting to LEDs, which will reduce electricity consumption and improve vehicle performance.

4. RV Upgrades with Parking Sensors and Cameras to Avoid Future Accidents

Problems like blind spots while parking are things that can cause you to have RV accidents. To prevent these types of problems, modern RVs have sensors and backup camera systems. These systems help give you better vision and alert you have obstacles that you cannot see. If your RV does not have these systems, it is a good idea to have them installed while you are having collision repairs done.

These are some RV improvements to consider for your vehicle while it is in the collision repair shop. If you need help with repairs due to an accident in your RV, contact an auto collision repair service and talk with them about some of these improvements while repairs are being done.
