riddle me this Batman

Daughter and son-in-law recently got a 5ver (2011 cougar) via Ohio to Reno Nv.So both sides of the 5ver 6" up from the bottom it looked like someone took a can opener to them from the landing gear to the outside steps and the other side from the landing gear to the tires including the fender skirt.Driver said he drove into some strong winds going thur Wyoming.Does this sound like a fish story or what.Any ideas on how this could happen and would u accept the 5ver.Bummer summer for the kids.Got the 5ver on feb.17th

    I worked for an RV dealer in Nor Cal for about 10 years, I did the check in for a lot of our inventory. I am calling BS- never saw "wind" damage a unit. My spidey sense makes me think selling dealer knows more than they are letting on mainly because they are willing to pay for repairs.
    I tend to agree with you about the possibility of the dealer sending out a damaged unit.

    I am an adjuster,

    Years ago in Amarillo we had a similar instance where a tumbleweed opened the car up like a can opener. However, there was a 3’piece of irrigation pipe stuck in the tumbleweed. Can it happen, yeah.

    Did this one happen? Doubtful
