Solaire TT Blew Over in Storm

Came home today to find our Solaire 28QBSS TT over on its side after a pretty substantial thunderstorm came through our area. The trailer is a 2013, so we're pretty discouraged. I don't know that I want to even attempt to fix all that is likely wrong. I can't get into it because the door is on the bottom side. I can see the couch and table let loose and I'm sure crashed into the kitchen cabinets and door on the other side. And I'm sure the frame took a beating in the fall as well.

Any thoughts on how to proceed with the insurance company? I was told an adjuster might come by tomorrow.

First weekend of camping was scheduled this weekend for my son's birthday. :(

    They will do more damage to the trailer up-righting it than the wind caused blowing it over. Oh, your lawn will not fare too well either with the equipment on it.

    Sorry about your troubles, but at least your house is OK!

    Clearly, more truck would have prevented this accident. HA!

    Its actually scary that this can also happen when we're actually driving. The right wind gust with the best of reaction...stuff happens.

    Good luck getting this settled.

    What a shame!! Bummer of a birthday gift for your son, too. :( Hope the insurance company comes through for you.

    Well! there's a bright side to everything if you look to see it. This would be a great opportunity too easily clean the roof.

    Sorry to see this happen to you.:(

    Nice position to work on the roof. All I can say is wow. I went camping in my pop-up with friends I had not seen in a long time. High school buds. Came back to the campsite after a day of exploring rounding the bend and could not see the pop-up. It just swirled it around and moved it ten feet, we slept in it that night. Your insurance should have you covered on this.

    That's kinda what I'm hoping for as well. Just think too many issues could appear as a result. And yes, our home wasn't damaged which we are very thankful for!

    Your about to find out how good your insurance company is! Maybe they will total it and get u one just like it was before it flipped. That's crazy, might need to tie the next one down!
