Accident repair, and experiences?

[jleonard]

Thursday afternoon our trailer got whacked. T-boned, bent the rear axle and crumpled up the door and the bathroom on our 2600 RB.
We're fine and the truck is fine.
This happened in southern SC (Hardeville). We unloaded everything out of the camper and hauled it all back to Central Florida in a uhaul trailer.
Monday the insurance company will flatbed it from the tow company's yard to their own facility near Savanna and an adjuster will look at it and advise repair or total.
Any one here have experience with this sort of thing?
Anyone care to share either good or bad?
I have never gone thru this in an RV and wondering what to expect other than a hassle.
Thanks

If the frame has the slightest tweak, they'll total it. If/when they do, be sure to fight for a dollar amount commensurate with the current market. If not totaled, I would personally want that level of repair done at the Factory Service Center.

I hope you're able to get back to camping this season!

Hate seeing posts like this..glad no one was hurt ( not physically anyhow)

Contact GD ASAP, they now have an insurance repair center within the factory grounds. They'll likely want detailed pictures. If the frame is bent I would suggest you push for it to be totaled

Thank you. I just sent an e mail with a couple pictures.
I'll advise what they say once they get back to me.

Not sure about the frame. She was not going very fast. She hit the back side of the rear tire and only the stub axle is bent I'm pretty sure.

Initial response from GD is that they typically only do warrant repairs there.

I'll advise if I get an addition response.

I wonder if Covid has slowed down the opening of that repair bldg. I thought it was scheduled to be open by now.

Hadn't even broken ground in November, and they were every bay full as well as every site in the campground. CS office expansion was finishing for the hiring of a bigger team.

Here is a second reply I received from GD so perhaps they DO have a repair shop. I'm still hoping for a total, but so far I'm in the insurance run-around-phase.

Please provide the estimate with repairs and any additional pics. I can then make the request.

Best Regards,

Susan Bond

Regional Service Manager
