Hail damage

We had a good hail storm Sunday night (ping pong- golf ball size) and the trailer roof has "clean marks" where the hail hit the roof and front end cap. Our trailer is a 2009 keystone bullet with a white roof. I have an appointment with Allstate adjuster Thursday. What should I expect from them on the damage, repair or replace? Any idea what the threshold is for a repair or replace? I have read in other posts that the hail can cause small tears in the membrane after it hits then slowly crack open. The max air vents are damaged with cracks and holes.

    Our long ago experience with Allstate after hail damage caused when Tornado #2 came through our city was excellent. Not only gave the roof a thorough inspection, but walked around and noted small damage to our window screens, some marks on the house, etc. They were very thorough and we were completely satisfied. I would expect the same service on a TT. You might want to ask if they have a dealer they work with in your area, even if it's not your own regular dealer. If, during the repairs, they find something else, a shop they're familiar with will likely get a speedier approval and you'll be on your way.

    From my experience with Allstate. they will give you a very fair, and thorough inspection. Then will give you a check to have it fixed. IF you have it financed. The check will have the banks name on it as well.

    When they did our TT roof hail damage. they paid for a new roof. We determined the roof did not need replacing, or anything. So we used the money to pay against the loan. The only real choice as the bank had to sign off on it. You have to use it for the TT. in one way or another.

    7 years after the hail storm. We sold the TT. The roof NEVER leaked
