On my way to work last Thursday. Towed the rig in and parked at the station... On my merge from the 118E to the 405S, a driver changed lanes in to me and darted off the off ramp....Here is the damage pic,The impromptu repair.... Not bad ehDamn unlicensed, uninsured drivers....

Sick. Last fall had a similar situation on the 210. Left the campground after my usual walk around inspection and all was ok. When I reached home and got out there was a red dent and paint line behind the rear wheels on the drivers side of the motorhome. I can only image that someone tapped me with the mirror of their red small car and decided to keep driving off. At 28K lbs with the gas engine of the last MH I didn't hear for feel a thing. I did call the CHP and report the incident...they took the report, and advised me that they probably could/would not do a thing. I filed the report so that the driver of the little red car could not file a hit and run report against me. Just a thought...you might want to file with either CHP or the local PD just so you have the report on file. You didn't get their license but they may have noted yours.Have a better day, and Happy Trails.

Oh I filed a H/R report. I had a unit swing around the parking lot and scratch one out... But nonetheless...

Filing a report is the right thing to do. Just for the reasons the poster indicated. Not incidentally the original poster did a hell of job on the emergency repairs.

Need to file a report so the Insurance company does not charge you with an at fault accident. That happened to me when a car hit mine in a parking lot and I filed a claim without a report.

was the driver caught and ticketed? report the damage to your insurance. they should go after the driver.

Just ended my work/trip... Started with a hit/run
