Hail Damage
I took my 20 foot North Trail in for it's yearly inspection. Went to a new place that had opened up near by. Had some bad vibes--sort of like walking onto a used car lot. But I left my trailer anyway. What can go wrong with an annual service check? Just got a call that I have hail damage to the roof. Could be. This is Colorado.
But it is housed under cover most of the year. Can't remember any hail while we were out camping but am not certain. When the "salesman" said he could feel the hail damage in the wood under the roof and he would give me discounts on other work to off set the deductible I became suspicious.
How common is hail damage to trailer roofs? He also attempted to charge me $500 for packing the bearings. We had a talk and he reduced it to $415--twice what I paid last spring. I declined the roof replacement. So my question is how worried should I be about my roof? We are leaving on a camping trip April 17.
