Had a blow-out on the fifth-wheel on the way back home from Montrose last week. Did some pretty good damage.
Anyone know a body shop that works on RVs?

Dang! that sucks.We had a blowout that did some minor damage to the skirting. I found that Lowes carries an embossed FRP sheet that is a dead ringer for the pebbly texture of the original.

I'll fix it myself if I can find parts...
The skirting is probably going to be the problem. It's diamond plate, but thin, stamped sheet metal. The metal band/channel that wraps the entire RV that connects the skirting to the fiberglass might be a problem, too.
Fender is completely disintegrated along with some bent frame members. Got some fiberglass damage, too.
Fortunately, I found some hi-speed rated trailer tires. Rated to 87mph. They cost three times as much as regular trailer tires, but I haul ass!!

I'm just happy you guys are ok. A few years back my mom's boyfriend was towing a trailer and had a blowout and it made him go off the side of a cliff and he died. Shit can be fixed, so could have been way worse.

Lowes also has thin diamond plate in 2'x4' pieces. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Steelworks-...-Metal/3054573 Can't help with the other bits though.
