If a tree falls in the driveway...

Well this happened this morning. Gotta call the lizard and see what’s next. Luckily we weren’t using it, but we had an epic 4200 Yellowstone mile trip planned for departure in 12 days. Maybe next summer...Click image for larger version

Man so sorry, that sucks. Hope you are able to get it all worked out. Keep us posted on how the insurance company responds.

Ouch!!! I'm glad nobody was hurt. Too bad about the trip, you're not going to have that fixed in 12 days. Probably take that long for the insurance company to get moving. I guess you'll be calling some campgrounds right after you talk to the lizard....
If you can fit it in with the rest of your life maybe you can get out there later this season. Good Luck!! (You're due)

Sorry to see and hear about your misfortune. Please keep us up to date on insurance experience, repairs, and eventually getting to Yellowstone. It's only time and money. You are probably bummed out now, but thank the Lord no one was hurt.

Sorry to hear/see this. Glad no one was injured. My Mother always told me “ it’s not a problem if money can fix it “. I’ve used that philosophy although it’s difficult when something like this interrupts your plans. Good luck with the repairs.

Wow what a mess to wake up to. Thankfully you were not waking up in it when it happened.

I do hope the lizard gets you on the road soon and the travel season is not a complete loss for you.

Good luck

What is that saying, oh that is it [Mod Edit]

I was in a RV park and tree fell on a truck so you are not the only one. It was not my truck.

Sorry for your loose as it’s going to be totaled. In 12 days I’d have a replacement and go on my trip. There are several just like yours close by...$45K in Gallatin, TN. Unfortunately you are going to find out how good your agent is or is not.

No fun! Sorry. At least you weren’t 2200 miles away. I would try to get another one or a rental.

I agree, if money will fix it, it's not that big of a deal. I would start looking for another right now, because I too think that will be totaled. It sucks that it will probably ruin this trip, but just start planning the maiden voyage in the next one. Chin up...and all that.
