Beyond Repair?
So........... yesterday started off as any other normal Saturday. The weather was cool but the sun was out. About mid morning the wind started to pick up. At around 4 o'clock my son came running in...

The camper is toast.
Weight on the roof presses the outside frame down hard on the "wings".
It's as if the basement was pushed up into the camper.
The frame is probably compromised - even if it springed back, the corner will have been cracked/loosened internally.
Not so much when the jacks are down. They took a bunch of the force at the outer wall. Mostly it looks like the limb punched a hole more than really crushing the roof. It depends upon how far and fast that limb fell. You could set one on the roof without harming it all the way to dropping one from the sky that wouldn't stop until the floor.
It's hard to tell without seeing it in person but if the frame were compromised there would likely be cracks in the fiberglass.
The real issue is that it's a 10 year old camper and fever just fixing a hole in the roof gets expensive compared to the value.
