That's crazy, did you hit something or did it just come loose and blow off?
Just blew off!
We did not even notice when it happened. I just saw the wiring blowing around in the mirror.
Thank god no one was hurt by the debris or cause an accident. The State Police stopped and then followed my route to make sure nothing was on the road or any accidents etc.
Yes it is obvious that there was a leak which frustrates the hell out of me. The roof got cleaned and inspected twice a year. If anything needed addressed I would do it or recently pay to have it done. There were no signs of a leak inside the unit as well. No stains water marks etc.
I looked up the NADA value and found that it is worth between $11000 and $12000 dollars. After serious health issues I am now disabled and my income has been cut 40%. We are also paying off the medical expenses that have accrued. A RV payment right now is out of the question and to purchase a $12000 5th wheel I think we would be in for more problems. And remember that $12000 is a value of the NADA guide and may not even be close to what the insurance company offers.
So unfortunately it looks like we will be giving up the RV lifestyle. What really hurts is that my wife and I talked last week about how my health has stabilized to a point that I can travel within reason. She will be retiring very soon and we discussed the places we wanted to travel and see together. I am just trying to stay calm as serious stress can cause some nasty problems for me. We just have to wait and see what the insurance company will do.
