Re: Three Months Later
My insurance company has been good so far since I went that route. I can't complain there. As far as housing goes, her insurance company already promised me $60 a day in housing expenses, but now that I am going through my insurance its possible that money becomes hard to get since my policy does not cover housing. I will have to borrow money from family just to afford a temporary place to live here since housing/rental prices are out of control and hope her insurance company reimburses us later like they said they would. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes.405Views0likes0CommentsThree Months Later
Three months later my 5th wheel is finally going into the shop after the accident. This has been a long and annoying process with possibly more aggravation ahead. Originally I was dealing with her insurance company since the accident was 100% her fault. Her insurance paid for my truck and rental car pretty much no problem, but I hit a wall with the RV. For months I kept telling them the RV needs to be inspected for frame damage and the like. They sent out an appraiser who knew nothing about 5th wheels. He wrote up his report saying I need a new gooseneck adapter. Which was my first clue he knew nothing since the rig does not have a goose neck, just your standard pin box. The woodwork that fell in the bathroom - well just glue that back up for 10 bucks. As far as the floor damage and being able to feel every seem in it, well, that was completely ignored. I spent about a month after that appraisal, not inspection fighting them telling them send someone out that knows what they are talking about and got nowhere. Eventually, I got my own darn inspection and filed with my insurance company where we appear to be making progress. Int hat inspection we did find the metal crossbeams, at least the two you can see in the generator compartment are bent. I still am clueless what may happen. Right now they tell me it may possibly be totaled or it may be gone for 5 to 6 months in repair. That call hopefully gets made next week sometime when they start tearing it apart. To top it all off I am a full timer so I also need to find a place to live while it is in the shop and can't do that until I have a vague idea how long it may be gone. In any case this accident has been a real pain in the rear as it drags on and on and on.3.6KViews0likes12Comments
