Motorhome hit in storage lot


Went to the storage lot to check on the motorhome and find out someone has run into it. Owners of the lot were helpful but not knowing what day it might have happened they couldn't check months worth of video. Of course as with all of these types of places they are not responsible for any damages. They will be look at the video but I'm not really expecting them to find anything. They do not allow citizens to view the video but if they find something I can file a police repot and they will burn a copy for them. 99% sure it was one of the tree trimming trucks that parks next to us but they have multiple trucks and the one that was parked there today does not match the marks. Have requested quotes from a couple of places but there are not many in the area that are equipped to work on motorhomes. I was soooo mad I could hardly see straight. DW says no big deal as it can be fixed but I am one of these perfectionist type people that keeps all of my stuff looking perfect. Of course no note or anything left. Why can't people just accept responsibility these days as that is what insurance is for. Looks like I'll have to cough up the $500.00 deductible to get it fixed. Hope this picture works as this is my first time trying to post one. Thanks for reading my latest rant.

    Not sure where you got this info. I don't recall having to renounce my citizenship during 20 years in the Air Force.

    Yes. This.
  • Everybody is unhappy when something happens, I hope you get reimbursed, but the damages could have been worse
    Maybe you can change spots next to another RV, away from the tree trucks
  • Would love to store it at home but unfortunately no room. It cost me $100 per month for a blacktop spot with electricity. Finding something with electric is almost impossible and it sure comes in handy for keeping batteries charged and cooling down the fridge before a trip. Apparently it is company policy to not let renters view the video.

  • Sorry to hear that. Storage lots seem to be rather dangerous places.
  • Sorry that happened. I always suggest to people if it is at ALL possible to store at home (of course code varies) to do so. It is so worth building even a car port if needed to get by code. Storage fees $$ and who knows what may happen to a coach in one of those. My little C Toyota would not be a big deal, but I'd hate our A bounder to go through that. I'm looking at DP's (a bit) and would croak if a $100k+ coach got damaged with no responsible party there.

    Hopefully they'll find something. I don't understand why they won't let a "citizen" (by the way police are citizens, only military are not citizens) look at the video especially if it just dealt with your RV and you were a victim. There is just no reason I can think of especially if you wanted to take the time to do so.
