Sir/Ma’am, per your request we conducted an Investigation in regards to a

Recreational Vehicle that you rented with the information you provided and below are

our findings.

Background: You rented a Recreational Vehicle from 123 RV Rental, located at 13668

Red Hill Ave. # A, Tustin, CA and picked up the vehicle from Bakers Ranch RV Storage

located at 25690 Baffin Bay, Lake Forest CA. The vehicle is a 2007 Forest River

Georgetown bearing California License Plate Number 5YYM929 and is said to be

registered to Michelle Starkey the owner of 123 RV Rentals.

Further information on the Investigator and the findings of this report are based on

fourteen years of experience during which time he worked as a Police Officer and

Detective investigating in excess of one hundred vehicle collisions where damage to a

vehicle occurred and was evaluated and documented in an official report. Additional

experience was obtained working as a Private Investigator for Insurance Companies

where vehicle collisions were investigated through the taking of statements, photographs,

diagrams, and preparing reports in accordance with state and federal laws.

Investigation: On Thursday April 14th

, 2011 at approximately 10 AM we visited the

aforementioned address of Bakers Ranch RV Storage and located the aforementioned

vehicle midway down an aisle that was marked “N”. The vehicle was unattended and

appeared to be in normal operating condition. All of the tires were in normal condition

and no signs of any collision or major damage were readily visible.

Upon closer inspection of the vehicle the following items were observed:

1. On the right hand side of the vehicle a bar that supports an extendable awning was

marked with a light green or yellow color that appeared to be transferred from the

vehicle rubbing against a tree or some sort of bush. This support bar did not show

any signs of structural damage or any other signs of inoperability.

The light green and yellow markings did not easily rub off with the hand and from

the Investigators experience had remained on this bar for a minimum of thirty

days prior to this inspection.

2. Also on the right hand side of the vehicle near the rear tire well the same light

green to yellow color transfer was observed around the metal molding of the tire

well. In addition to the transfer the thin metal was slightly misshaped and lightly

dented. The dirt that was consistent throughout the vehicle and present on this

area indicates that the damage in this area is older than two weeks from the date

of the inspection.

3. Continuing on the right side of the vehicle an area just before the wheel well is an

access panel that is covered with a decorative sticker that ran the entire length of

the vehicle. This sticker had a tension streak through it also indicating that the

vehicle had rubbed up against a tree or bush consistent and in line with the other

damage mentioned in items 1 and 2. The age of this damage could not be

determined however it is unlikely it occurred at any other time than the previously

mentioned damage.

4. Still on the right hand side of the vehicle just above the largest and most rear

access panel the most damage was observed. This damage consisted of a streak

about two feet long that had caused a deep groove in the point with several lines

in a zigzag fashion. This damage had started to rust as the metal had been

previously exposed and had been touched up with paint by an average person and

not consistent with any professional body work. This damage had occurred and

the corresponding paint applied at a minimum of six months prior to the

inspection of this vehicle.

The aforementioned streak lead to a piece of factory installed rubber molding that

ran from the top to the bottom of the vehicle. This piece of rubber molding had

sustained damage from the same tree or bush that caused the deep grooves in

addition to previous damage that pitted and grooved the rubber. It is unlikely that

this damage occurred at any point after the damage with the pattern from the tree

or bush and was most likely caused by something denser than wood.

Conclusion: In the Investigators educated and experienced opinion the damage observed

on the vehicle was caused by the forward motion of the vehicle close to a tree with heavy

foliage or a tall bush. With the exception of the rubber molding the damage would be

considered minor by any standard and would unlikely require body work rather a

thorough cleaning to remove the dirt and color transfer from the tree that makes up a

large percentage of the so called damage.

The damage on item four had been previously addressed by someone and painted in a

manner to avert any further rust or corrosion.
