OK. So once I cleaned up the detritus and cut away the shredded mat'l it's not so bad. About a 6" wide strip of plywood and insulation gone. The covering fabric is nothing special. Leftover 2" high density insulation and Tvek wrap from building the house will do the trick.
Lesson learned. Next time I'll crawl under and do a thorough inspection and not just a quick peek. And no, you can't count on the dealer service shop to do anything on an annual check.
The tires that came with the TT were, of course, cheap China imports. Had two failures but have to give the mfgr credit. I got prompt warranty service on both tires. When I told them I did not want a replacement tire as I planned to replace all 4 tires they sent a check to cover all 4. The $80 apiece was about 2/3 the cost of Goodyears. But I'm confident we've got good rubber on the road.
