I have a 2004 26 rear side bed. Just had a left rear outside tire blow out the other day causing extensive wheel well damage and fiberglass damage behind the left rear tires. Wondering if anyone has experienced needing major fiberglass repair on a born free and could offer any suggestions. My name is Mark, I live outside the Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota. Willing to travel a reasonable distance to find experienced repair facility. Thanks for any info you may have.

One possibility. Take your Born Free to marine/boat repair shop that does fiberglass damage repairs on boats.

I had a similar accident but with the inside dual. I was able to find an auto body shop about 1/2 hour away to do the fiberglass repair. As it went they did a good repair but didn't put the tail pipe back correctly. On the first trip out the exhaust blew inside the fiberglass and cracked their repair. I still need to take it at the end of this season to get the panel repaired again. There were some boat repair places as William suggested but they were 90 minutes from my home.
