[A/S] does anyone know where I can get body repair done?



Hi there, 

I bought my first Airstream on Friday, a 1970 31'
Sovereign.  I have wanted one since I was a little
girl, and am so happy! It is going to be my home for
about the next two years. Now the sad part. During
transit between las Vegas and San Francisco, I managed
to put two nasty gashes in the sides. The poor thing
lived 32 years without being damaged, and I trashed it
in one day! One of the gashes is so bad it pushed a
bit of the living area wall in. I am just sick. (This
is without the dent caused when I had a blowout on the
highway, or the fact I also lost an awning, which is a
long story...)

So I have to have this damage repaired, but I have no
idea where to go with it. I am in Northern CA, but
will travel any reasonable distance for good care. 

if any of you could give me advice about where to take
it, or how to find someone who could work on it, I
would be so grateful.

Also, I am finding it very difficult to find a park
that will take a trailer this old. I had no idea that
having a trailer older than 15 years was going to be
an issue! Does anyone know of a park up here that
would take me? I have tried to find an all Airstream
park on the net, but no luck.


thanks!
