Hi 1pammylou,
You are so lucky if all you did was damage the inner fender wells and the ductwork. Last summer, we just crossed into Colorado out of Kansas when we had a minor explosion. Scared the heck out us. My right inner dual let go and actually exploded. It took out all 4 batteries, my inverter, my propane line, both storage boxes and all of the electronics and damaged the 2 exterior compartment doors. The rig has been in the shop since September 9, 2013 and about 1 hour ago I was called by the repair facility that it is ready to go and I can come and get her.
10 hours on the side of the road waiting for tow service due to it happening on a sunday afternoon and we were in no mans land
another 10 hours at the repair facility
a set of new tires and emergency repairs, $5500.00
Bill here at home for the damage repair, $16,182.00!
One little blow out cost me about 20 hours time total for the stop to get us back on the road and a total of $22,300.00 in repair expense. Thank GOD for Progressive Insurance Company.
The moral of my story and the point I am trying to make is to have your insurance take a look in case of any hidden damage like we had.
