Had first accident!
I have no idea where to post this on the forums so please move if needed!
Had to happen someday I guess. We were coming home from a fantastic week at St George Island, FL when I got a little too up close and personal with a concrete post at a gas station. I should have backed up and swung around but thought I could make it pulling around. Wrong, the back end swung too far on my blind side and I clipped the post hard. Zero marks on the post but camper is a bit ugly.
Insurance adjuster just left and said he is 90% sure it can be repaired. Depends on the side panel, if it needs to come off then he is 90% sure they will total it! It's only two years old. We camp 5 times a year or so. He specializes in RV repair and has visited the factory in IN a few times. He is worried about the tube damage and repair work to the corner for the side panel. The rear will just need to be pulled and replaced.
Was curious if any others have gone through similar repairs and what I can expect. He has no idea on costs yet, just it will be "a lot". We have plenty of time, no trips are planned until the fall.
I have more photos if you like, these show the major damage.
