Hate to hear that. Honestly, with the sound of your health, it might be best in the long run. Some campgrounds (myrtle beach travel park is a good example) will actually rent you a camper that they will set up on site for you.
Or, Ocean Lakes Family Campground has hundreds of houses you can rent, some are downright reasonable.
Anyhow, good luck!
Thank you for your thoughts!
We cannot rent as we have dogs and the majority of rentals do not allow pets. Those that do are really not that nice We did this for a number of years before getting the 5th wheel. That is one of the big reasons we started RVing.
I am talking with my local RV repair and service guy and we are pursing different possible options. He is a one man self employed shop and can not do these types of repairs.
1. There is a local fiberglass shop that can do the repairs but I would have a seam down the side of the 5th wheel but it would be dry and secure. There is a guarantee on the work. He can't tell me how much until he sees how much has to be removed to get to solid side wall. I have sent him pictures and am now waiting to hear back from him. Initial numbers were promising and not anywhere near the $10,000 amount the insurance adjustor stated. They also have fixed 100's of RV's and this is not something new to them.
2. Sell for scrap and he is looking for a place that would give me the most for the RV. It would not be much money and even may cost me to dispose of it. This is my least favorite option as it means my RV days are done.
3. Find a dry secure indoor storage facility to store it in until I can afford to have it repaired. This at least will protect it until I can decide on the best solution. I would not be forced to make a hasty and possibly poor choice.
So it is a waiting game to get the information and see what makes the most sense.
