8 million is the latest estimate, 2 million structure, 6 million to MH's as of today.

Hated to see that.
Gary and his crew have performed a few repairs for us over the years and I was always happy with the results.
Spent more than a few hours just walking through all the beautiful Country Coaches they had in the indoor display area.

The only coaches affected were those in the storage area. The service and sales area were not involved. Give them some time to clean up then get there and look again!

Well that's good to hear.
They did our satellite on the Monaco and we want a new one on the Alpine.

Not so good if you had your coach stored there!

Am I missing something here? Your post is dated today, the 8th. If you look at the headlines, it says the fire was on SUNDAY, the 5th. Today is the 8th. Or, maybe you just saw that it happened. Not a big deal, I was just confused, which is normal.

There will be alot of finger pointing that is for sure. I pity the guy who owned the RV that started the whole thing. I doubt he has enough liability insurance. No estimate on total damage, but it has to be in the millions counting the building.

You hate to see things like this. I wouldn't want to be the one that started the fire. I guess this is why we have insurance.

See post #3 for the estimate.

Actually his liability coverage has nothing to do with it unless he was driving at the time. Liability, at least in Oregon, is for driver caused accidents not a fire of mysterious origin. Each coach hopefully has comprehensive and likely there will be lawsuits against the facility owner and the manufacturer of the coach that is identified as causing the fire.

Manufacturer is out of business. If the fire started in a stored RV the facility won't be involved.
