Coach remodeling
Hi everyone. We want to do some remodeling in our Salon. Does anyone
have any experience with Coachcraft by MacDonald? We're not getting return phone calls or e-mails. If this is the way they do business, they won't be ready for us when we get there (and we're full time in our coach, don't want to spend weeks in a hotel while waiting for work to be finished.) Please e-mail us off line at: jimpen at Hughes dot net. Thanks in advance Pen Sand & Jim O'Connor '83 PT 35 Benson (warm) AZ (in the 80's today, yippee) |

Your e-mail always comes back refused for some reason. Are you in BFE?
Coach Craft did fabulous work for me in the allotted time frame. Their shop is very adequate and I believe the personnel there are well trained.

Are you using their posting address (Direcway) or the one in the body (Hughes)?
Direcway e-mail addresses don't exist anymore, so are always refused. On 3/8/2007 at 9:12 PM Leroy Eckert wrote: >Your e-mail always comes back refused for some reason.

First the positive. We had them upgrade our TV and camera system in
2003. The quality of their work is excellent. They are very accomadating, hospitable, and easy to get along with. Now the negative. They enticed us to come in for an estimate but would not give us one. They are VERY EXPENSIVE and they are VERY SLOW. They are also very busy and that probably accounts for the negatives. Good luck. beforehand--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "jimocon" > > Hi everyone. We want to do some remodeling in our Salon. Does anyone > have any experience with Coachcraft by MacDonald?

Pen & Jim,
We had our Dinette and Couch in our 87FC35 remodeled a few months ago by: Dave Krolick Lakeland Coach Company 12012 Riverwood Dr Burnsville, MN 55337 952-890-5232 lakelandcoach@... Dave is a fellow Bird owner and an excellent craftsman. I would highly recommend him. - Rick 87FC35 Rochester, MN --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "jimocon" > > Hi everyone.

I have dealt with Coachcraft by MacDonald and will provide my too
cents. Yes they are very busy and very slow. I guess that comes when you offer outstanding worksmanship. I did not find that they were any more expensive than any other Bus Repair service. But if they are look at their yard. It is full of RVs and Buses for a reason. It's not the expense but the quality of the product. When a business is good at what they do, then the people who use that business are willing to pay a premium for the work. I do agree on the slowness of the pace of work but I would rather know the job was completed right the first time than rush them to complete. Only to find out they cut corners. Let's face it, how many times have you started on a project on your bird only to have it snow-ball into other areas that needed attention to fix your project. These machines are not cookie cutter type vehicles. To sum it up, I am happy with the work they performed on my bird. I will make the drive from South Louisiana to them for work on by bird anytime. Just wish I was close to Coachcraft by MacDonald because I would be a frequent customer of them. Want to change out one of my sofas in the next year or two and it will be handled by Coachcraft by MacDonald.

I have used each one that was posted by the author. Each time I received a
reject of some form. Over allotment, refused, or something else. I'm not chasing down reject notices.

As new flooring has jumped up a bit higher on my "to do" list, what is the process of getting an estimate, etc.? We THINK we may have the water problem fixed now (please, please, please!). Hopefully after we get the Bird House road safety ready, there will be some money for the interior. (Sell, houses, sell!)
Thanks.
