Continued thanks everyone for your kind words. We do have an ACV (Actual Cash Value) policy on the trailer as part of our home owners policy, so it's the depreciated amount we'll see if they total it. Given we bought it new, you can imagine what the depreciation will look like even though it's only a 2013. :-( I was even told that if they chose to repair it, the parts (not labor) will be covered at a depreciated amount as well. The adjuster said somewhere between 5-10% depreciated is likely. So no doubt, either way, we're going to lose quite a bit of money in the end, but it is what it is. As many have said and I feel as well, at least no one was hurt.
And I actually did have it parked next to my garage all winter and just pulled it on the driveway about 3 weeks ago to de-winterize it and get ready for this weekend. Had it been next to the house, it likely would have blown over into the side of our house and things would be a whole lot worse! So I'm grateful that didn't happen!
