Palm Trees in southern Florida

Friday, November 3, 2017

Oops!

I scraped the roof of the RV on a tree limb. I'm really bummed... 


The part of the tree that clipped the RV

Trashed the awning, put numerous rips in the rubber roof along the edge & tore the refrigerator roof vent off.



Tears in the rubber roof & the missing vent
  
The awning didn't fare well either

It was a weekend, so the insurance company was no help.  It looked like rain was coming, so I had to do something about the torn rubber roof.

I had a small roll of Eternabond repair tape for small wounds to the roof;  this was more than that. We went to a nearby RV store, and I bought a large roll of repair tape & got the rips patched. Bought a replacement cover for the refrigerator roof vent too. The awning was not going anywhere, but it wasn't usable either.

The story will continue after we see what the insurance company has to say....


New roof & awning is what the insurance company said. 

They took the receipts for the new refrigerator vent cover & Eternabond tape and will deduct that from the deductible.

The RV is in the shop that my wife wanted it in (she was familiar with their reputation) and should be out in a week.


We'll see if this is a happy ending after we're driving down the road!

  1. Those tree branches are sneaky - always waiting quietly and ready to grab you when you least suspect it! Hope your repairs go quickly and smoothly.

  3. That is why tall trees aren't allowed in the southwest! :)
