I called my insurance company, Allied, and they have done an outstanding job so far in taking care of everything.
They towed my coach to a "preferred" repair center, and are handling the paperwork.
Apalachee RV Center is working on getting an estimate of cost and repair time.
I am very apprehensive about how long repairs will take and what will happen to my insurance rates even though the accident was not my fault.
I will keep you all informed of any updates

IOW, hit him in the side. Was it avoidable or not we don't know. What we do know is what the OP stated and why I stated assured clear distance (because we don't know the speed, the conditions, if there was another lane available, basically none of the parameters leading up to the crash.
In this state, chances are you'd be cited for assured clear distance or failure to control (depending on mitigating circumstances of course)
What I'm taking about bub...
So your making a comment or statement without any pertinent information.
Confused to say the least.

This makes no sense. The OP was driving on the road and a jeep pulled out in front of him, so he t boned him. Why in the world would the OP be cited?
Assured clear distance is a vague concept in law, where it is even addressed in law, and mostly applies to what is in front of you in your lane, and not what enters your lane.
I think you have misunderstood the concept.

Something you might consider the RV place they towed it to is not preferred because they do the best work ( which they may well, I would have no knowledge)
They are preferred because they have a contract with your INS company and keep the rates down. They may well do that by using after market and used parts.
If you are not at fault, you have the right at least in WA to insist they use new parts. If on the other hand you are determined to be at fault, even partially, then they can use after market stuff. As you insurance is paying the bill and it will be in the contract, they can do that.
At least in WA if you are not at fault it will not raise you rates. I believe this info is pretty much correct, although I acknowledge I could be off base

Hopefully one, there was no PI and two if you didn't get cited for assured clear distance, consider yourself fortunate. Here in this state, you'd be ticketed for assured clear distance or failure to control. Jeeps and their occupants don't fare well in crashes as a rule.
Not sure what your even talking about

What is the "assured clear distance" to prevent someone from pulling out too closely in front of you?
