Professional repair of motorhome wall damage
Motorhome wall damage occurs regularly. A small mishap on the campsite, a post, a low branch, hail, storm damage or a collision can already cause a dent, scratch, tear or other damage to the motorhome wall. Sometimes the damage appears to be mainly cosmetic, but with a motorhome wall it is also important to look at the sealing, paint layer, wall structure and surrounding parts.
It is wise not to leave wall damage untreated for too long. Damage to the exterior wall can affect the appearance of the motorhome, but also the seams, profiles, sealant edges and underlying structure. Damage near windows, doors, hatches, corner profiles or roof and floor joints deserves particular attention, as that is where the risk of moisture or further damage can arise more quickly.
Have motorhome wall damage assessed by an affiliated CaravanRepair specialist before you set off on a long journey again. This makes it clear whether the damage is mainly cosmetic, whether local repair is possible and whether technical repair is needed to make the motorhome reliable to use again.
Why have wall damage assessed?
With wall damage on a motorhome, it is not always immediately clear how serious the problem is. An affiliated CaravanRepair dealer checks the location of the damage, the wall profile, the edges, seams, paint, sealant joints and any nearby components. It is also checked whether there are signs of moisture, deformation or movement in the wall section.
The repair method depends on the type of damage. A small scratch or dent requires a different approach from damage after a collision, a tear in the wall, or damage that extends to a profile or opening. Where possible, targeted repair is chosen so that the original wall structure is preserved and unnecessary dismantling is avoided.
Sometimes the assessment shows that local repair is not sufficiently reliable. This may be the case, for example, when moisture has penetrated, the material around the damage has weakened, or the damage extends beneath an edge, window, hatch or profile. In those situations, more extensive wall repair or replacement of part of the motorhome wall may be necessary.
A proper assessment prevents two problems: repairing too little, causing the damage to return, and replacing too much when targeted repair is technically sufficient. That is why the first step is always to look at the cause, the location and the technical condition of the motorhome wall.

Via the damage form at the top of this page, you can report the wall damage with photos and vehicle details. Add clear overview photos and detailed photos of the damaged wall, the surrounding parts, joints, profiles, windows, doors, hatches and any damp patches on the inside. The clearer the damage picture, the better an affiliated dealer can determine the next step.

In the case of more extensive wall damage, suspected damp or damage around structural parts, an inspection of the motorhome is often necessary.
