The other night we had some bad storms come through; in the morning I got up and left for work as normal. I work a 24 hr shift, so when I came home and started working outside I noticed my camper. A decent size tree branch fell on the roof and punched a hole clean through, and cracked some of the fiberglass front nose. It gets better, since the hole is clean through there was a significant amount of water inside the camper. The heating ducks have visible water in them. I am planning on contacting insurance in the morning, I am wondering if any of you guys have had to deal with insurance on something like this and how the process goes. I have state farm, any input will be greatly appreciated.

Protect the rig from further damage, call the insurance and have them handle it.Mine went though a hitch when large limb came through roof and cabinet. Repair facility and insurance did everything. Made a couple adjustments without any question.Hardest thing is finding a good RV repair facility.

Thats what worries me between the water that was in it, and where the hole is located. It is just behind where the fiberglass nose goes over roof membrane. I am worried about a bad patch job if that is what they do and have leaks later on down the road. I have a camping world that I used and had a horrible experience getting my slide toppers installed. Guess its time to get on google and find somebody. I put my cover that I have for it over it, and removed everything that I could that was wet and vacuumed up all the water that I could get up.

write everything down, and insist its a total loss , why?, because now theres mold in and under the wood. even if you gotta get a att.

thanks guys, what sucks is we have 1 trip booked in may, 2 in june, and 1 in oct. Just got back from a 2 week trip. We had plans on putting some miles on it this year. I hope I will have answers sooner than later as to what is going to happen to it. My camper is a 30 ft puma 2 slides with a bunk house, its not much compared to some but the family and I love it.
