Title: Best service facility for bulkhead insp. repair- FOT, MOT, EncoreRV
Post by: Green99 on January 03, 2013, 03:11:37 pm
I would like to hear opinions as to best facility for bulkhead insp. and repair.  Being new to Foretravels, to this point I have done all maintenance myself, but I am considering having someone else look at the rear bulkhead.  It has not seperated, but shows some signs of rust.  With that said, I would like to hear some opinions as to the best facility, weighing ability as well as price.
Thanks everyone,
Jerry

Xtreme seems to be the choice of many, I am sure FOT does a fine job too.  I like MOT for lots of things, but would not use them for the bulkhead, nor the other shop you mention.
My money is on Xtreme while here in Nac.
Good Luck

I would second Xtreme without going into a lot of details, they are the best ones to deal with it...

Xtreme recently (2 months ago) repaired the front bulkhead on our '92 U-280 promptly and efficiently for less than $900. FOT and Xtreme differ somewhat in their approach to cleaning the bulkhead joints and in the mode of fastening the bulkheads.

I had the front & rear bulkheads repaired at Xtreme this summer. I am very satisfied.

Let me suggest a variation by those answering:  What was the condition of your bulkhead when repaired, AND by what method were they repaired.

That will interject some FACTS into the discussion.

I would suggest you call either xtreme and FOT and ask them there process. They differ and you can decide which one you want to use after talking to them.
