Picking up your RV after a collision repair is the best moment to catch anything that was missed — before you’re two hours down the freeway. Bring this checklist and walk the RV with your service advisor.
Outside the RV
- Paint matches from several angles and in direct sun
- Panel gaps and trim line up
- Caulking and sealant around repaired areas are clean and continuous
- Lights, marker lights and turn signals work
- Mirrors, cameras and sensors are aligned and working
- Compartment doors open, close and latch
Slides, doors and windows
- Run every slide in and out — watch for binding and check the seals
- Entry door opens, closes and locks smoothly
- Windows open, close and seal
Inside the RV
- No new stains, moisture or soft spots near the repair
- Cabinets and interior trim near the impact are secure
- Appliances and systems near the repair work
Paperwork
- Final invoice matches the approved estimate and any supplements

Frequently asked questions
What if I find something after I leave?
Call the shop right away and describe it. Small issues are easiest to fix while the repair is fresh.
Should I check the repair in sunlight?
Yes. Color match and panel waviness are easiest to see in direct sun.
Will you walk the RV with me?
Yes — every pickup includes a walk-through.
